BIOLOID Premium

The BIOLOID Premium is an educational/research humanoid robot kit by ROBOTIS (founded 1999, South Korea), built around 18x AX-12A Dynamixel servos and a CM-530 ARM Cortex M3 controller. It supports 29 configurable robot shapes (wheeled, humanoid, hexapod) and is programmable via RoboPlus software. It is a user-assembled, user-programmed kit — not an autonomous system — and is primarily operated via remote control or pre-programmed routines, with community sources confirming remote-controlled use. The kit appears to be discontinued or very limited in availability, with prices historically ranging from ~$1,199–$1,699€. Note: a significant portion of the extracted facts pertain to unrelated ROBOTIS products (GAEMI delivery robots, AI Sapiens K0, NimbRo-OP, AI coding tools) and have been excluded from the BIOLOID Premium reconciliation.
