Its name is an English acronym meaning roughly “dynamic anthropomorphic robot with intelligence, open platform”. The manufacturer describes it as an affordable platform.

The robot can get back up by itself when it is on the ground, whether it has fallen on its front or on its back, according to ROBOTIS. The user can adjust the speed of this movement.

It is driven by 20 jointed motors: 6 in each leg, 3 in each arm and 2 in the neck.

Its battery gives 30 minutes of operation, according to the manufacturer. It comes with a charger and a mains adapter.

There is no need to switch the robot off to change its battery, as long as the external power supply is plugged in first.
