PINO    
   
       
PINO (2001-2003)
PINO is a humanoid robot which had been developed in Kitano Symbiotic Systems Project, ERATO, JST. PINO is composed by only off-the-shelf components and expected as a standard of humanoid robot like Linux for OSs. A robot designer, Tatsuya Matsui, worked on the exterior design. PINO was commercialized by ZMP.
