NOTE: These robots are not meant for children. All of the humanoid robot models discussed on this website use
powerful servos that can pinch or even crush your fingers if you are not careful. Consult the recommended minimum
age from the manufacturer before allowing children to use any of these robots.
The KHR-1HV is about $200 more expensive
than it's sibling, the KHR-2HV. The higher price
gives you 2 additional degrees of freedom, but
little else.
The KHR-1HV uses the same servos as the
KHR-2HV, which are powerful and fast. As a
bonus, the servos used in the shoulders are
even more powerful and faster.
The KHR-1HV shares it's lineage with both the
KHR-1 and the KHR-2HV, so there are years of
experience built into this model. With the higher
price, the user base is smaller. So getting
support from the community is going to be a little
more difficult. Also, the software and user
manuals are NOT available in English, which is a
huge negative.
The KHR-1HV is a great robot, with top scores on degrees of freedom, power and speed. However, the lack of English
support from Kondo is a serious drawback. Also note that the price does not include a remote control. The KHR-1HV
shares it's genetic code with the original KHR-1, check out our build report of the KHR-1 here.
Recommendation: This robot is best suited to those who have prior experience with humanoid robots, or those who
can read Japanese. Otherwise you may be seriously frustrated with building and using this robot.
