Fujitsu's HOAP-3, Programmable Linux robot

zmcnulty writes "Fujitsu Automation announced their "HOAP-3" robot yesterday, a 60cm (24in.) robot with a dash of open-source goodness. The robot contains a Pentium M 1.1GHz processor and runs RT-Linux, but Fujitsu also said they'll be releasing the internal interface info for programmers to take a stab at. The original Japanese press release is available here, and at my site we have a translation of the Japanese ITmedia article covering it. No price until it actually hits stores."
