It’s taken a little while, but it seems that the first robot based on Microsoft’s Robotics Studio package is now available for sale, although it’s far from a consumer bot. Running a hefty $5,345, the so-called “e-nuvo WALK” robot from Japan’s ZMP (makers of the e-nuvo WHEEL, as well) measures 14 inches tall and is apparently intended primarily for research and education although, as you can see above, it also seems to be a strong candidate for the next RoboCup. According to the AP, those in Japan can place their orders for the robot now, but they’ll have to wait until sometime in January before they actually gets their hands on one.
