The Robosapien Collection

Robosapien V2 is a highly evolved robotic fusion

of technology and personality, combining fluid biomechanical

motion with a multi-sensory, interactive humanoid personality.

The RoboV2's vision system allows him to track movements and detect obstacles -- he can even differentiate between colors. He can also tell if an object is close to him or far away -- if it's close, he will command you to, "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" Upon which, if you do not "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" he will start a revolution. Well, no, not really, but he may get mad at you. He will also flinch if you move objects too close to his eyes -- so don't scare him. As previously mentioned, his ability to differentiate between colors allows him to tell if you're a human or, say, a wall. So, if you happen to put your hand in front of him, he may wave, or shake it. And, since RoboV2 has a penchant for throwing things -- he comes with a set of red bowling pins and a green ball -- it'll keep him busy for hours while you have a little "me" time. The V2 is also programmable -- meaning you can script his movements and animations. He can be programmed six different ways. Three ways in the controller program mode -- which includes "main, vision and sound" -- allowing you to enter moves using a controller. He will remember up to 20 maximum moves -- making the RoboV2 the perfect prom date. He can also be programmed three ways in the positional program mode -- which includes "main, left and right" -- allowing you to program the Robosapien like a puppet, manually moving his body parts into different positions. This mode has a maximum of 12 moves -- and he will memorize them until they are deleted from his system. Resetting him, putting him to sleep or powering him down will not prevent him from firmly knowing his dance moves. The Robosapien V2 can also interact with his robotic "companions" -- the Robopet and the Roboraptor -- by commanding the Robopet to perform various different tricks, and by fighting the Roboraptor in mortal combat (well, not really -- but he can tell him to calm down when the Roboraptor is attempting to be ferocious, as Roboraptors tend to be.) The V2 is a lot stonger then the original Robosapien and its finely-tuned precision hands allow him to pick up much heavier objects than his smaller sibling. He can even throw things. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. Advanced agility allows Robosapien V2 to bend over and twist from side to side, so he can now sit, bend, lie down and stand up. As well as interacting with his surroundings Robosapien V2 can now talk to you. Forget old school grunts and bleeps - with different phrases for different scenarios this is like having Robocop in your living room (minus the profanity and carnage). Fully equipped with infra-red radar vision, the V2's moving 'eyes' can detect obstacles and track movement. Robosapien V2 can even react to noises thanks to a stereo sound detection system. And before you ask, yes, we have ripped one apart to see if there's a little bloke inside. (There isn't, by the way). But if you think all of the above is clever, get this: a sensory vision system enables Robosapien V2 to actually recognize and remember objects and skin tones. This means he can wave and reach out to shake his owner's hand. It really is quite uncanny and has to be seen to be disbelieved. Robosapien V2 also comes equipped with laser tracking; simply use the ultra-sleek PS2-style RC unit to trace a path on the ground and the V2 will follow it. You can even use Robosapien V2 to control Roboraptor and Robopet. Come to think of it, if Robosapien V2 were any more advanced we'd be on the blower to John Connor, because judging by this must-have biomorphic masterpiece the robots are most definitely on the rise.

Robosapien V2 Media

New Robosapien Media Video

Well we dont know much about this little guy except that he has a chest mounted screen about the size of a cell phone screen. He is a walking talking Linux engine.(Sounds pretty technical) If you visit some of the great forums available (featured on the home page) you will find just about anything available about any Wowwee robot and a few other Non-Wowwee robots. The media may feature voice control (uknown) it also is open source(in a way) because it is editable and it can record mpeg videos while it's walking. Sounds cool, a first person robot view. I wish that I already had one.
