Can one day an amateur build a walking, speaking humanoid robot from the kit? - The same model of the plane as the ship in the bottle? Intel wants to offer this option to robot enthusiasts around the world by the end of the year. The company has launched a fully customizable 3D- Printable robot at Wednesday\'s Re/code Code meeting. The wisdom of its resident futurist Brian David Johnson -- The project called \"21st century robotics\" is the result of a collaboration between developers at the University of Southern California, Franklin W. According to the project\'s website 21st century robotics, the Olin College of Engineering and the Trossen college of robotics. com. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich walked through the stage accompanied by research robot Jimmy. The two-foot- Tall, white, humanoid robots can be programmed to sing, dance and tweet, he said. It is low bycost processor. Consumers will be able to buy the kit for about $1,600. In the release video, developers talk about making robots more social. The Intel- Computer-based robots will have the ability to socialize with humans, such as voice and speech recognition. Built with an Intel Core i5 processor, it also features other features including USB 3. 0, Bluetooth and WiFi. However, the Re/code points out that the cost of a robot with an i5 processor will be close to $16,000. So the consumer model will run on Intel Edison Cost chips used to make wearable devices and other products for the internet of things. Hardware design will go through an open SOURCE platform that allows anyone with access to 3D printers to make and create basic parts. Essential parts that cannot be printed, such as motors, wires, batteries and processors, will be available to consumers in a kit that can be purchased on the project website, according to Re/code. The programming of robots will also be open-sourced. Intel says developers will be able to create their own applications, and consumers will also be able to download any software they want to run on a robot. Intel hopes that the massive launch of robots will stimulate the low price of these kits --- Less than $1,000- In the next few years However, what might stimulate the large-scale availability of the build-a- The robot kit is a cheaper 3D printer; At present, many 3D printers are selling for more than $1,000. When entrepreneur Bill Gross announced the launch of an Indiegogo campaign to develop the Department of Defense, a separate demo had the ideat, a $200 end-to- According to Mashable, the company can hand over 3D printers to ordinary consumers by 2015.
