Loaded with attitude and intelligence, Robosapien's the first toy robot based on the science of applied biomorphic robotics - so what you ask?
Well we're probably all use to seeing robots that behave like they're from some 80s break dance clip...you know the knee jerk movements that sorta resemble the really low quality video you downloaded from the internet last night. Not very human-like at all, is it?
Enter Mark Tilden, a former NASA robotics physicist who first developed the basics for biomorphic robotics back in 1988. His amazing concepts have given birth to the world's first robot that burps, fights, dances and walks in a more human-like way.
Fluid and more unpredictable than previous toy robots, Robosapien's humanoid form creates behaviour much like a real human, minus the heavy breathing, sore back and complaints you'd sometimes get from real humans.
With unique biomechanical body movements and a pendulum-like walking motion, Robosapien's flexibility and realism are only limited by your command of the infra-red remote controller.
Direct Robosapien to perform one of its 67 pre-programmed functions, or put together your very own sequence of unique actions like giving you a high-five, or perhaps something more complex like boot scootin'.
Why not even pit your Robosapien’s newly learnt skills against that much more expensive robotic dog your friend has been bragging about. Gang up with two Robosapien’s and that robotic dog will probably be on its way back to the Sony pound quicker than you can say Aibo.
Whether you're a robot freak, need to reminisce over Lost in Space episodes, or just want a new friend that's there for you with the press of a button, Robosapien's the real deal. Move over Buzz Lightyear, there's a new super hero in town!
Please note: Mini Robosapien’s functions are restricted to light up eyes, cool walking action, articulated arms and working hands only. It is not only smaller, but offers less functionality than the original Robosapien.
Mini Robosapien measures about 200 x 180 x 100mm in size (packaged), requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included) and is recommended for ages 4 and upwards. Robosapien Mini does not include a remote controller.Please note: These products are not suitable for children under 3 years old due to small parts that may represent a choking hazard.

"...Robosapien is a machine in the best tradition of robots. It has a humanoid form (not the weird neither-cat-nor-dog look of the Sony Aibo pet robot), grappler claws for hands, bipedal motion and oversized hulk-like proportions...The magic is in its movement. Robosapien is designed by a former NASA robotics physicist, Mark Tilden, whose expertise is evident in the fluid motion of its arms, legs and waist. Each joint is motorised and the pair of D-cell batteries, cleverly located in each foot, helps lower the centre of gravity and keeps it balanced when walking. The best part of Robosapien, though, is that it is programmable. You can record a combination of movements to play back in response to a tap on its body, a sharp sound or when touched on one of the sensors on its feet or hands. You can also link a series of programs together for a long routine..."
