PINO - The Humanoid

This is the second part of the Robosquare.org paper models, the previous one was ifbot. Now we have PINO - this robot is designed to be a humanoid, that can be built by everyone, by using cheap and off-the-shelf components. This is a highly sophisticated robot with 26 motors, is able to walk upright steadily on two legs, shake hands, and nod its head. Kinda like the Robosapien, but with an advance AI. This paper model is in PDF format, a single page for instructions and a couple for the pattern.

From Robosquare.org, here's a paper model of a robot called "ifbot". ifbot is an advance communication robot that can understand and speak human language (only Japanese language for now), it can also move by itself, avoid obstacles, detect steps, take pictures and send them wirelessly via the internet, and last but not the least, it can recognize upto ten persons from their voices and faces and adapt to the emotional tones of the speaker. It is marketed in Japan as a domestic communication robot primarily for elderly people to provide conversation and companionship.
