– Multiple levels of environmental interaction, with humans and objects
– Sight, sound and touch senses
– Humanoid body movements, including bending, sitting and standing, lying down and getting up, dancing, waving, martial arts …
– Speech: Responds verbally to environmental stimuli and to controller commands
– Color Vision System: Recognizes colors and skin tones
– Stereo Sound Detection System: “Hears” and reacts to sounds
– IR Vision: Detects and avoids obstacles; tracks moving objects
– True bi-pedal walking with multiple gaits
– Precision gripping, articulated fingers
– Realistic 2-axis turning head with animated LED eyes
– 100 pre-programmed functions

Um ok. This has been out so long that their already marking them down at sharper image.
Is it a slow news day?
Is this an ad? Looks like an ad.
Nothing wrong with that, but please disclose it as an advertising entry.
Since when is a remote controlled device a “robot?”
If being controlled by a remote qualifies a device as a robot – I have an INCREDIBLE robot entertainment system at home!
1. First time I’ve come across it. I thought it was interesting so I posted it.
2: Yes it is. So what? I thought the video (sorry, ad) was somewhat humerous.
3. Using a remote control is one mode of control. ‘autonomous “free roam” behavior implies not being used with a remote control device.
They had the robosapien at Costco for a while. I don’t know what it was supposed to be doing (break dancing?) but it was certainly noisy and obnoxious. These are the kind of things you get your brother’s kids for Christmas, just to mean.
I heard people use these to fetch beer.
v1 of these was pretty basic, but v2 is a huge leap ahead.
However the coolness of it is that there isn’t a specific brain controlling it all. Each part has a smaller brain that works with the others, and a central brain recieves input and communicates between them all.
Very clever design.
