Great News!!!

Today I have received confirmation from DongBu Robot (formerly DasaRobot) that charging/docking stations will be made available for the Current model of Genibo, the Genibo-QD. Exact price not worked out yet, but expect it to be somewhere in the region of £75-£80 including the chest panel adapter modification.

I am not sure yet if this will be user-installable, I shall have details shortly. If it does require specialist fitting then we will fit at no installation cost for all customers who purchased their Genibo from Star-Robots, and for a small fee for other Genibo owners. This is NOT being marketed as a retail package, but rather as an upgrade option to be available to resellers. It has no fancy boxes or packaging and is available as a bulk-pack only, so no instruction books etc, but the most important thing is that it IS available and at an affordable price (less than the price of a 2nd hand ERS-210 station).

I shall be placing an order quite soon, so please get in touch if you would like one.

Here at Star-Robots we feel that feedback between end-users and manufacturers can be useful for all concerned. We are considering establishing a UK user group for DasaRobot products, or finding an existing user group to work with (why re-invent the wheel?). We have discussed this with DasaRobot, and received a positive response, so let’s do it!
If you are a UK based robotics user group and would like to have a communications channel back to the manufacturer of Genibo, HerkuleX, Tetra III etc please get in touch. If you would like to be a part of a user group please watch this space where we shall ether post news of affiliations with existing user groups, or start one of our own.

Despite plans that we would be attending the Gadget Show Live this year as an exhibitor, it’s going to be just a little too soon to show all the great new products just around the corner from DasaRobot. All said and done it’s a few thousand pounds to spend a week at such an event, so we have decided to hold back for 2-3 months until we have the new range to demonstrate.

If you are planning, or know of, a UK based event that we should be attending with our Genibos and other new robotics products from DasaRobot please get in touch or send us an e-mail.

DasaRobot have announced the addition of three new models to the Genibo Range.

These will be available starting with the Genibo-SD expected to be available from July 2011, with the Genibo-EDU and Genibo-M models to follow later in the year. Due to the time needed to get products CE certified, the European release may be a couple of months behind the Korean release, but we hope to secure some demonstration units for review before the release dates.

The new models look pretty much the same as the Genibo-QD, but on inspection it will be noticed that they have slightly chunkier shoulders to accommodate the new HerkuleX Servos. All models will be supplied with docking stations as standard.

More details and images will be published here shortly.
