A programmable robotic voice, based on a 1970s SPO256 speech synthesizer chip and a custom language core, forms speech in 6 languages. MANaTRON has motion controlled feet, legs, arms, torso, and head.

Rechargeable 9-volt and AA Batteries distributed throughout the body maintain center of gravity. Parts are from various sources - kitchen tin cans, materials from the Republic of China, and a Toddler robot kit.

Four added motions are accomplished with a mechanical mobility core. A miniature mercury inclinometer improves walking on inclined surfaces.

Programming software is uploaded to BS2s with a portable Apple Macintosh iBook computer running OSX and MACBS2. The humanoid has its own unique OS for extended capability.

MANaTRON is the latest (number five) in a family of robots, and the first biped humanoid in this series. There were ten variations of MANaTRON named Primary Tertiary Adjunct (1 to 10) of ten.
