The development of SIMON , a humanoid robot, was started in 2003. The first prototype with approximately height of a human body (160 cm) could not be completed because of unfavourable financial background. 
In 2004 the preparation of second prototype was began. This smaller robot (height : 74 cm, weight : 3,5 kg) was completed in March 2005..

• Main characters of SIMON v2 

  • number of freedom : 24 (20 are controlled by PIC)

  • height: 74 cm

  • weight : 3,5 kg

  • two arms with 3-3-movable fingers

  • two eyes (100kpixels webcams)

  • speaker in the mouth for speaking

  • microphones behind the eyes for hearing

 Simon v2 was presented the public in May 2005 in the exhibition INDUSTRIA 2005 (Budapest)..
