The KHR-2 looks a bit similar to the Bioloid robot I just read about. They provide a pretty decent graphical programming interface and the robot is capable of many different physical configurations.

The word robots gets thrown around so much, but I really feel that it isn't a robot unless their is at least a little AI under the hood.
