■Newly developed actuator
Three kinds of actuators are newly developed to achieve driving
power requested to each joint. [It] is adopted for the knee

■High speed walk/whole body cooperation operation
The pace of SDR-3X enabled a high-speed walking of about 60mm
and 15m/a minute. [It] controls so as not to fall though the
slope and the antecedent movement are also possible, the trunk
and the sensor in foot back part are fed back.
■Voice communications
The mike is built into the ear, and operation can be directed by
the voice. About 20 kinds of voices are recognized and the
function to answer is installed by the voice synthesis for the
