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 Manoi PF01 is one of the most expensive
humanoid robots included in our survey.  It
comes with an upgraded battery system using
Lithium Polymer batteries, and comes with two
gyros as standard equipment.
The PF01 uses the same servos as the AT01,
which is top of the line for torque power, with a
slight decrease in speed performance.
The PF01 was released in early 2007, so it has a
very short service length.  Combine this with the
very high price tag, and that makes the user
community rather small.  To further complicate
issues, the software and manuals are
NOT
available in English.  
If the Manoi PF01 was an automobile, it would be a Lamborghini.  It has the sexiest styling of any robot available, and
equipment.  You get the improved Lithium Polymer battery and 2 gyros included as standard equipment.

Recommendation:  This robot was not meant for fighting, rather for showing off.  The beautiful exterior shell will draw
compliments from everyone.  However, the high price tag, lack of English support, and small user community make this
robot reserved for experienced users only.  There are plenty of cheaper, easier to use alternatives for beginners.
