    The SPC-003 is part of the humanoid robot research that was conducted by the Speecys Corporation, the developer of the Speecys-FC robot. This robot comes with the company’s Real Motion System robot programming software, which allows the controller to utilize a computer to verify the movement of the robot prior to prototyping the robot.

    The SPC-003 is an updated version of its predecessor, the SPC-001. This modified version is thinner by 30mm, and the developer repositioned its center of gravity, making it more stable. This robot has a neck that is equipped with two joints, which can move horizontally and vertically, while its head is installed with a CMOS camera, a LED, microphone, and speakers. It has three joints found in its hands, arms, and hips. These allow the SPC-003 to rotate its arms, bend forward and backward, and get an object using its hand.

    The SPC-003 has 26 degrees of freedom, as compared to the 23 of its predecessor. When pushed, this robot can continue to walk mainly due to its single-axis gyro sensor. It can also keep its balance after the developers installed a three axis gravity sensor, which keeps it from falling flat. This robot was marketed by the company back in 2005.
