Assembled Robobuilder "Huno"
One can control the Robobuilder from within an interactive Ruby session (also available as 15.5 MByte DivX3 video and available on Youtube)
The Robobuilder Kit contains components for assembling a humanoid robot

Using the RBC controller

New.gif You can download the Ruby-extension for controlling the Robobuilder using a GNU+Linux PC here:

robobuilder-0.2.2.tar.bz2

Here is a small example program which makes the robot get up if it's lying on its back or its front.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'robobuilder'
require 'matrix'
class Vector
  def norm
    Math.sqrt inner_product( self )
  end
end
robot = Robobuilder.new '/dev/ttyUSB0'
puts "Robobuilder"
puts "Serial number: #{robot.serial_number}"
acceleration = Vector[ *robot.accelerometer ]
if acceleration.inner_product( Vector[ 0, 0, 1 ] ) >
    acceleration.norm * 0.97
  robot.basic
  robot.a
elsif acceleration.inner_product( Vector[ 0, 0, 1 ] ) <
    -acceleration.norm * 0.97
  robot.basic
  robot.b
end
acceleration = Vector[ *robot.accelerometer ]
if acceleration.inner_product( Vector[ 0, 1, 0 ] ) >
    acceleration.norm * 0.97
  robot.run 1
end
robot.close
