WowRobot KHR-1 is a programmable bipedal humanoid robot introduced in 2004 by a Japanese company Kondo. At the time of its introduction it is one of the cheapest (126000 yen or about 1300$) programmable bipedal robots (Robosapien is based on analog control s and so it not programmable). The robot is 34cm high and has 17 degrees of freedom (each joint is powered by individual servomotor ). It is capable of a wide range of motions, including quick kung-fu-style fighting moves. However, the robot currently lacks any sensors or remote control.

In 2004 the robot won in the Robo-One Jr category (lightweight robots) in the Robolympics .
