The KHR-1 is no longer in production. If you
want to buy one, you may have to look into the
used robot market. (That's how we found one,
check out our build report here.)

For its time, the KHR-1 was state-of-the-art.
Newer models have come out that are stronger
and faster.

The KHR-1 is the oldest humanoid robot, and
scores well for service length. The software and
user manuals are available in English, so it
scores well on Support. However, there don't
appear to be many users in English speaking
countries, so getting help with a question may
prove difficult.

The Kondo KHR-1 is the grand-daddy of all humanoid robots. The KHR-1 is to humanoid robotics what the Model T is
to automobiles. This model was introduced in 2004 after Kondo realized that hobbyists were using Kondo servos to
make humanoid robots on their own. Kondo packaged their own humanoid robot kit, which included software to
program new motions, and launched the humanoid robot industry. Since then, the KHR-1 has been joined by three
more models from Kondo, the KHR-1HV, KHR-2HV and KHR-3HV. Check out our build report here. We also tested
how good the walking motions are on this robot in our Human Emulation testing here.
Recommendation: The KHR-1 is a great robot that blazed a trail for future generations of robots. If you already own
a KHR-1, you probably love it and will keep it forever. If you are new to robotics, it will be very difficult to locate a
KHR-1 for sale. There are other models that have bigger support networks and larger user base than the KHR-1.
