As i did, the owner of this robot has put a microcontroller on the back of the robot with an IR led sending orders to the philo, probably to customize it and perhaps to add sensors ans autonomous behaviour:-)

It is a PS2 remote control. The owner is the chief designer of the robot.:)

You are right. But it seems also that an additionnal box is on the back.
I said that because mine looks like this with its arduino backpack.
Concerning the hands, the fine tuning tab shows interesting things in the actual version of the firmware...
This add on is probably planned for a long time by robobrothers.
I also think they should correct many minor errors in the furmware and customer relationship before.
For example, you can't fill their forms from outside the US to buy anything (servos...) !!! I have a whole list of improvements for them.

It is a pity because i find this robot very cool (for eg you cant easily plug a ultrasound sr04 in the head...). It is also hackable through IR and affordable comparing to the others
