Robosapien: The new evolution of man?

The Robosapien is the first affordable intelligent entertainment humanoid of its kind. Developed by robotics physicist Dr. Mark W. Tilden, Robosapien is the first robot based on the science of applied biomorphic robotics, enabling him to act more like a human. Tilden, who developed applied biomorphic robotics, has worked for NASA and other government research agencies developing advanced robotic technologies.

Fiesty and filled with personality, Robosapien is a humanoid with attitude that comes to life at your command. Using the ergonomic remote control, you can command Robosapien to perform up to 67 pre-programmed functions including pick-up, throw, high-five, whistle, dance and three different karate moves.

Robosapien reacts to both touch and sound signals from his environment, and sensors in his feet allow him to recognize and avoid obstacles without help. He has two types of three pronged grippers that enable him to pick up objects like cups, socks, pencils and other small light objects.

Robosapien also comes equipped with fast, fully articulated arms, and his fluid biomechanical movements and pendulum walking motion make his movements appear more human than robotic. Robosapien's impressive flexibility is evident as he walks in two different speeds, dances and 'turns on a dime'.

Robosapien is manufactured by Wow Wee Toys Ltd., which is a leading manufacturer of interactive high-tech toys and innovative electronic entertainment products.
