Kyosho raised the ROBO-ONE humanoid robot bar with its announcement of the new MANOI AT01 (hacker version) and PF01 (collector version, designed by Takahashi) humanoid robots. The new robot uses stronger servos and advanced skeletal geometry with resilient plastic brackets, and is considered to be an improvement in humanoid robotic athletes. See photos from a recent press conference in Japan and a complete high res schematic of the MANOI skeleton and components at http://www.botmag.com/articles/manoi_1.shtml
