Prototypes

Design
The 1998 prototype is 132mm wide, 250mm tall, 235mm long, and with both batteries inserted, weighs 1.25kg.

Hardware
The 1998 prototype has an MIPS 64 Bit RISC Processor CPU, 8MB DRAM internal memory, two PC card slots, a 180,000 pixel color video camera, a stereo microphone, a mono speaker, and 16 degrees of freedom (3 in each leg, 3 in head, and 1 in tail). The prototype ran on two batteries: one 7.2V rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, and one 4.8V rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery. The legs could be swapped out for wheeled modules (160mm wide, 128mm tall, 72mm long and weight of .35kg). The robot is capable of color region recognition, motion detection, and motions such as walking, sitting, standing, and sleeping.
