Preface
Thank you for purchasing the KXR robot assembly kit.
The KXR system enables you to create various robots by combining frame parts
with servo motors as a part of the structure. The basic format is provided as a set,
and sample motions are also included, so you can conrm the robot's operations
as soon as it is assembled. Servos and main frame part components are sold as
options, so it is easy to add robots in various formats and also expand the original
robot. If parts wear out or break you can replance only those you need, so repairs
can also be performed inexpensively.
Before beginning to assemble the robot, please closely read through this manual
and the accessory manuals. You may want to print out the manuals to make them
easier to read and reference.
This product is constructed for people of all ages to enjoy a bipedal robot. However, this product is not a toy, and
contains parts and tasks that would be dicult for young children to understand or perform. For those parts and
tasks, parents or teachers should provide assistance.
Please keep in mind that due to the nature of this product as an assembly kit, the motion of the assembled product
cannot be guaranteed. Further, due to the fact that the movements of the assembled product depend in large
part on the method by which it was assembled, we may not be able to provide precise answers to your questions
regarding operations.
The assembly and operation of this product requires the use of a personal computer (Windows Vista or 7,8,8.1,10)
with a USB port. It is assumed that the user has basic computer skills. Please note that we cannot provide
answers to general questions or inquiries regarding computers or Windows.

*For part names, refer to the following page.
●Spec
*Computer software is used to operate the robot’s motions.
*For details, refer to the “Heart to Heart4 User’s Manual.”
Servo motors are integrated with gears for raising the output torque and a control board that enables stopping at any angle.
Using servo motors in the robot’s joints makes it easy to send angle commands to the joints and enables multiple motors to be
accurately controlled at the same time. The KRS-3302 ICS servo used in this kit employs half-duplex serial communication, so
operating commands can be sent simultaneously to multiple servos, and this allows cables to be wired using the multi-drop/dai-
sy-chain method (method for connecting servos like a chain of beads). This reduces the number of cables connected to the
control board to make possible a simpler, cleaner layout. You can also easily upgrade to the higher-grade KRS-3304 ICS for
more powerful operating performance.
The RCB-4mini control board used in this kit has a total of six ports, three
SIO (serial) ports for each of two systems of ICS3.0/3.5/3.6 compliant
devices, and can connect up to 36 ICS3.0/3.5/3.6 devices.
There are also five AD (analog) ports, so gyro/acceleration and other analog
sensors can be used.
High-speed, high-capacity EEPROM has been adopted to make it possible
to run multiple, varied motions."

Battery/Charger
*Always refer to the battery and charger manuals before use.
*The included battery and charger differ with the set.
● Remove the battery from the robot when not in use.
If you store or transport the robot with the battery connected and the switch is accidentally turned on, the
servos may be damaged and smoke or fire may result. Always remove the battery when the robot is not in use.
Readthebelowcontentbeforeusingthebattery.
Make sure to charge the battery before assembly and before operation.
▼The following cautions apply when using an Li-Fe battery.
Do not use the included USB charger (BX-31LF/BX-32MH) from the USB port of a computer.
When charging use a commercially available AC adaptor (1-2A) that supports USB.
