Researchers have create a humanoid robot that runs on real-time Linux and holds promise for applications in education and research.

The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology announced the development Thursday. Startups General Robotix, and Moving Eye, and Pirkus Robotix and Dai Nippon Technical Research Institute created HRP-2m Chromet, which is driven by ARTLinux.

The walking robot does not run on direct instructions or a graphical user interface, so it can be programmed using software, which backers say will be useful for education and research. Developers hope to make the robot more affordable than other humanoid robots.
