At $499 this robot comes “ready to walk” out of the box and then can be custom programmed to do may complex movements with its more than 20 servo motors, according to Technabob.

The servos control human-like joints throughout its body including the neck, shoulders, elbows, knees and waste. Programming it can either be done through a PC or directly through the included wireless remote control.

If you don’t mind assembling the RoboPhilo yourself initially Robots-Dreams says you can save $100 by buying the RoboPhilo RTW kit. Take a look at the types of movements possible in the video after the jump:
