Still thinking of the best gift for your love ones this Christmas? Try this up-to-the-minute Robosapien robot that is capable of autonomous behavior and equipped with interactive sensors to recognize objects and respond to sounds.
It responds to touch and sound with advanced sensors like a camera that detects skin tone (hold out your hand, and the robot knows to shake it) and object color (the robot collects blue objects when handed them).
It can be programmed to execute more than 60 different movements, including dancing, exploring, lifting items, or bowling.
The robot has true-to-life bi-pedal walking gaits and realistic double-axis head turns.It can use its sonic and infrared sensors to guard an area (sounding an alarm when motion or sound is detected) and to interact with other Robosapiens.
The robot avoids obstacles intelligently as it walks, and sonic sensors detect sharp noises, responding with a hearty Hey, there! and turning to face the sound.
It can bend and pick up small objects on command, using its precision-gripping, articulated fingers, and then it can throw the object to you.
It requires six D batteries and three AAA batteries for the remote control. It has a height 23 1/2”, width of 16″, 11″ in diameter and weighing 10 1/2 lbs.
