The Robosapien family of robots are the best selling toy robots ever. The advanced technology in these robots was designed by a NASA engineer and refined over years of experimentation and development.

Robosapien Version 2 Humanoid Robot

Robosapien Version 2 is the next generation of Robosapien technology and personality. This new member of the robotic family comes with more advanced dynamic motion, interactive sensors, new program functions, speech capability, and a personality all his own. It's clear from the start that he enjoys bowling, dancing, and having conversations.

Movement
RobosapienV2 is able to walk forward in four different styles, or gaits. He normally uses his IR vision and touch sensors built into his feet and hands to avoid obstacles, but if put into bulldozer mode, he will walk forward or backward and try to push his way through anything.

Beyond controlling him manually with the included remote controller, RobosapienV2 can explore his environment independently in free roam mode. You can also direct his movements by using the remote's targeting feature--just point the beam to a spot on the floor and he will walk toward it.

RobosapienV2 has been designed with a full range of motion. He can turn his head just like humans. So, too, can he turn at the hips and can move them forward and back and from side to side. RobosapienV2 can move each arm independently, and his hands can grab, pick up, and throw light objects, such as the included bowling balls and pins. He even comes preprogrammed with a selection of dance moves.

Sensors
RobosapienV2 is equipped with a powerful vision system that lets him track the movement of objects in his field of view by moving his head and body. He will react differently to things based on their distance from his sensors. He uses his onboard color camera to identify primary colors and skin tones. This helps him identify his bowling ball and pins, and bowling is his favorite game. His ability to detect skin tones helps him know when people are waving to him or when it's time to shake hands.

RobosapienV2 comes with a controller, a green bowling ball and 3 red bowling pins.
He also has hearing sensors that help him detect people in his proximity, tilt sensors that interrupt most functions to prevent damage should he fall, and grip sensors that tell him whether he's been successful in picking up an object.

Programming
RobosapienV2 can be programmed to move in many different ways. You simply enter moves into the program using controller commands, and RobosapienV2 will remember them in order. You can enter walking steps, arm and upper body movements, demos and animations, and even program subroutines. Once he's in guard mode, RobosapienV2 will execute the program if he hears a sharp noise or senses movement. The little guy faithfully remembers his program, even after being shut off.

Robo Companions
RobosapienV2 can interact with other robots, such as the RoboPet and the RoboRaptor. Just have the robots face each other and watch for surprising interactions.

Robosapien Original Version

Robosapien Programmable Robot The Robosapien Robot is a full function fast moving robot minion suitable for all your world domination needs! Designed by a NASA scientist, the Robosapien is simple enough for kids and advanced enough for adults. Features include 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, and half a dozen kung-fu moves. Robosapien has programmable "reflexes" to touch, pickup, and kick, and up to 84 program steps, with 4 program modes for advanced operations.

No computer is required, all functions are handled by a remote control which runs on regular batteries for over 6 hours. Includes three demonstration modes: Disco dance, Rude behavior, and Kung Fu. This robot comes fully assembled and ready to go. Requires 3 AAA and 4 D Batteries (not included)

RoboRaptor

From the makers of Robosapien, the RoboRaptor comes fully assembled and ready to roam the earth with his Robosapien cousins. He has movable arms, a swiveling head, a sweeping tail, and a chomping jaw full of pointy teeth. Measuring 32 inches from nose to tail, the RoboRaptor is a big enough to intimidate any smaller predator that may come along.

While this raptor hasn’t yet developed his full hunting skills, he’s still a lot of fun and comes with over 40 preprogrammed functions, three distinct moods, and the ability to detect things in its path with infrared vision. He also comes equipped with automatic shutoff and a demo mode.

RoboPet

Wow Wee RoboPet RoboPet is the new robot from the makers of Robosapien, and RoboRaptor.

The Robo Pet walks, sits, jumps, gets up if it falls over, and so much more! Features multiple functions with an easy-to-use remote control, multiple vision systems with color recognition, and fully automated demo modes.

RoboPet makes these fluid movements: walking, running, sitting, lying down, getting up and rolling over. He performs tricks, responds to positive/negative reinforcement (is trainable), responds to human movements and makes four different doggie sounds.
