"What is Robi's battery life as well as its charging duration?

Robi is a complex system of motors and electronic components, currently able to operate up to 30 minutes before needing to be charged. Average time for a full charge is 90 minutes."

Juz intro, I not going to do partworks for this. At least do put some info to refer.

Robi DeAgostini Malaysia
Robi DeAgostini Singapore




What can Robi do?
COOL CONVERSATION, PURE ENTERTAINMENT!

Conversation
ROBI understands basic English and Mandarin, with a speech recognition board that helps him express intelligently in various situations. His LED eyes light up when speaking, and a physical sensor detects human presence so ROBI will look at you when talking. Amazing interactivity.

Dance and Sing
Entertainment indeed! ROBI can dance & sing as well as do special actions like kick a ball, wave a flag. He’s truly hip and happening with a servomotor that optimises ROBI’s movements.

TV Control
ROBI can be your TV remote, with an in-built Infrared remote transmitter powering the TV and volume at your command!

Simple to Operate
No complicated external software here. ROBI is designed to be easily operable – user-friendly for children & adults alike!

If only it is around rm24.90 per copy for 70 issues.

first i thought cool toy... then see got 70 issues... so basically rm4.7k for a toy... no thanks.

It was an outdated robot. The original Japan released Robi at 2012. There is also a cheaper Robi BUT it was released as plastic model kit not a functional robot.

RM24.90 x 70 copies = RM 1,743.00
is this an investment. asset or liability..?

uhh this one never read properly
24.90 is only 1st issue.
the other 69 are rm67.40 on subscription.

so 24.90 + (69 x 67.40) = RM4675.50.

i think only the 1st copy is RM24.90. so it's in the high 4k for 70 issues.

some issue will cost more than RM74.90. due to expensive part

What is the price of the Robi publication?

The first issue comes with a promotion price of RM24.9. Subsequent issues are RM74.9 each, excluding the list below:
Issue 43 (CPU): RM137.0
Issue 62 (Physical sensor): RM99.0
Issue 63 (Physical sensor): RM99.0
Issue 67 (Speech recognition board): RM137.0

1st... too expensive for a robot using this kind of material
2nd... outdated mostly no more update for it
3rd... afraid of missing issues, especially partworks like this cannot be miss anything.

I think that why most of us in the forum won't start this partworks so far...
Anyway if got lot of money n was robot lover, sure will start build it.

It's such a pity that it's priced so high.

If they could make it even rm2k max I would have tried definitely

Might as well get a more advance metal humanoid robot ar local RC hobby shop less than 2k only

is this the robot shown on NHK to help special kids?

The ROBI has landed in Malaysia!

now we all have the verdict... too expensive for a robot, my mom ask me to buy it and i ask her why... her reply was epic, 'ask the robot to do house work of course.' yeah if it can do more than walking and talking and act cute, i might consider robi.... else its just waste of time....

i believe sell kidneys also wont guaranteed to complete that whole bot.

im already starting this

I see I see....
So, Good Luck VincC454, wish your ROBI complete smoothly.
Waiting for your more info of building the robot.

BTW guys...
The creator of ROBI
Tomotaka Takahashi


And he another robot project send to space...
The robots name, Kirobo & Mirata


Actually they all look nearly same, juz the ROBI is the starter of this kind.

its been awhile since i buy this kind of magazine XD

There wasn't a lot of choice to begin with. I remember there was the Hummer, then Mclaren F1 car and a ship. In between there was a Honda bike. But they abandoned that 6 issues later. I was a victim of that. So no more part series for me.

this is the first not distribute by allscript

BTW, I think AllScript already stop all the collection partworks market maybe.
Cuz Ferrari Racing collection already stop with no reason...

And the ROBI robot not from AllScript, is DeAgostini Malaysia official.

Waiting for mine to come and start 1~3 this week.

TT Here is the robot which come with Wifi, internet and bluetooth. Japan just launched an new similar robot like Robi but got wifi or internet access which cost JPY200, 000(RM7859) and a complete one sold at JPY230,000(RM9037). That mean we going wait another 3~4 years when it reach here

http://mainichi.jp/.../articles/20170222/p2a/00m/0na/015000c


What it can do is identify the family and friends (up to 12 people) using the camera, conversations via DoCoMo's cloud AI, messages, and net connections. Besides the AC adapter is included, it runs even on a standalone with an internal 5800 mAh battery. In addition to the VAIO main board plus a general-purpose single board computer Raspberry Pi 3, WiFi communication and Bluetooth.....Wow

i just subsribe issue 3 to 70 form DeAgostini Malaysia malaysia.
Got 10% discount, so can save few hundred from there.

saw this today... guess they're going to try their best to promote it.

>4.5K to get something without any warranty and free after sale services is big problem (Refer from TW and HK collectors reported issues)

4.5K, you can get Google home or Amazon tap (voice recognition) + Smart home hub (like logitech harmony to infrared control your TV) + 50" Smart TV ( to watch kpop dancing via youtube).

There are already ppl mod robi..... they kind of cool but i wish it was gundam though





Wanted to collect them but scare they might stop supplying the series after sometime due to low demand ....Btw, i think japanese and mandarin voice are much more cuter then english voice

hi, you can try subcribe from deagostini malaysia, free delivery and 10% discount, so no need worry they will stop the supply. :-)

this robo only can speak and understand japanese if i not wrong.

I only can afford the plastic model kit. (JPY 3230)

im still deciding ..... the money man... 300 a month...

Wait they sell plastic model kit too ...maybe got money then can invest of the parts.... like servo and the PCBA

double Tap

I was offered 30% off and allowed to complete in half the time. BUT that means spending a lot more within that same period!

RM 5.5k over 70 weeks is RM 78 per week.
RM 3.5k over 35 weeks is RM 100 per week.

That comes to about RM 400 per month instead of RM 300.

Reminds me of a photo I took .........

So how do you find the investment on Robi ? Is it worth it ?
Because i found that robi can only do certain thing which i find it cute and bubbly but paying for over like 5K for few action seem not justify the money plus i predict after sometime it would in the shelf collecting dust unless robi have weekly or monthly firmware upgrade that do little more then currently stock robi action can....

Still holding on to my grudge, though i love to have Robi....

It different scale. The plastic kit is 1/2 scale from the original robo.

Oh, hahaha i thought it was real 1:1 scale

currently at issue 5 (usually i go buy on saturday)

need until issues 8 to complete the head part

I can't say yes or no because it depends on priority.

If you have nothing else better to spend on and don't mind 70 weeks wait (and actually enjoy the process), and not forgetting being one who appreciates the technology - go ahead.

I for one, do have better things to spend on but I have no recommendation of any better alternative.

As one who spends time to build stuff, I don't like to wait 70 weeks to build a robot. Too long, really too long.

Just received issue 4 and issue 5. hope everything go smooth. The most tricky part is the electornic part. other than that still ok for me.

The parts can be easily obtain from external website like taobao ....

They already selling complete set of the Chinese and Japanese version, you can either get the whole set or just simple buy the chosen set to have full dummy set assemble while buy the PCBA and voice Recognition copied locally (Unless u know how to speak Japanese) and i think the assembly parts are universal built regardless on any region you buy from....

For the shipment is costly a bit but it will be well paid price for those who cant wait till all 70 parts comes in.... i believe most of us wants only the Robi not the magazine collection...

I think that big piece of plate PCBA just screw....the most challenging comes when you assemble the brain and the servo

just see this today nearby my place. Kinda appeal to me cause i'm into robotic. Any lubang to subscribe to this offer?

You may go to https://www.deagostini.my/da/index.html website to subscribe. with 10% discount per issue and free postage.

I calculated if include all the special issue, it will cost RM 5,365.40. Online subscription will cost RM 4,828.20. I'm more interested with the 30% off, wonder if there is any lubang for that.

I just want the parts and servos, and plan to replace the electronics with my own board.

your own board ?

I wonder... how everyone building progress go?
Seen be a while didn't hear anything.
And BTW I did saw ROBI issues at my place too.

currently until issue 13, still have long way to go. just finish the righth arm so far.

haha that i had been wondering too because everyday i go to book store and check out the episode each week ... but i didnt buy it though even it attempt me too
