While the Robot Systems Technology Branch at NASA’s Johnson Space Center continues to develop its humanoid Robonaut, one NASA scientist has worked to take many of the same basic capabilities and introduced Robosapien! Robosapien is a full function, programmable, fast moving robot controlled by wireless remote control. High-tech but easy to use, Robosapien features: Real multi-speed fast dynamic walking, running, and turning. Fast, full function arms with two types of grippers.67 pre-programmed functions including pick-up, throw, kick, sweep, dance, fart, belch, rap, and half-a-dozen different kung-fu moves. Speaks fluent international “caveman. Programmable “reflexes” to touch, pickup, kicks, or sound. Up to 84 program steps, with 4 program modes for advanced operations. No computer required, all functions handled by ergonomic remote control. Runs on regular batteries (not included) for over 6 hours. Three demonstration modes: Disco dance, Rude behavior, and Kung Fu Kata. Simple enough for kids, advanced enough for adults, it’s like a video game character for the home. Developed by Mark Tilden, a robotics physicist who has worked for NASA, DARPA and JPL through Los Alamos National Laboratory. He developed the basics for biomorphic robotics in 1988; Robosapien is the first commercially available robot based upon this principle.
WowWee Robosapien Humanoid Toy Robot with Remote Control Reviews
Bought this for my grandson whose in to this sort of stuff. He LOVES it.
I got robosapien on my 8th birthday,and it is so much fun!It can dance,karate chop,throw stuff,and more!His right arm isn’t working very well,but after all demo,it works great!I LOVE this toy
I bought this toy for my 6 year old son as a Christmas gift. It was great fun while it worked. My son could easily program it and he was delighted with the different actions and noises that it made. However, after only 5 days of normal use, the toy would no longer work properly. It’s leg would not return to its “start” position and so would not balance properly. Because it was unable to balance, it could no longer walk, turn, etc. without falling over. I contacted WowWee customer service for a replacement, as per their 90 day warranty; a month later, I am still trying to get them to honor the warranty. This is not a pleasant company to deal with. I would not recommend dealing with this company. In my experience, the cost of this toy is too high considering that it may no longer work in only a few days of play.
