The CE certification process can cost several thousand Euros/Dollars, it can be done outside of Europe, it can imply the destruction of several units of the product, it can imply changing of some components or manufacturing process of components and it is essential for any company wanting to wholesale in EC market. It means that Hitec have taken the European market seriously and expect to sell many hundreds of units in the European Community. This is an indication of one major evolution from Kondo's KHR-1. The CE logo appears on the side of the box. Robonova comes in a very nicely planned and finished box about 30x40x10cm weighing about 2.5kg.
HITEC ROBONOVA 1 HUMANOID ROBOT SOFTWARE
It is easier to build, its software is more comprehensive, and it looks and feels a bit less like a bunch of servos hacked together by some aluminum brackets. Nevertheless, Robonova-1 is an evolution from KHR-1. Hitec engineers were very much inspired by KHR-1 to the extent that many of the Robonova-1 building blocks seem to be almost identical to its rival. Between July 2004 through the end of 2005, Kondo sold over 3500 units of KHR-1 out of which it is estimated that not more than a couple of hundred units were sold outside of Japan and Korea. Robonova-1 humanoid robot kit from Korean RC-servo company Hitec was introduced to the Japanese market a year after KHR-1 humanoid robot kit was first launched from competitor company Kondo.
