The Gadget Shop will start selling a recreational robot, called Robosapiens (dubbed "The Intelligent Robot").
Robosapiens is 35.5 cm tall and is operated through a remote control. The robot is pre-programmed with 67 functions including kicking, snoring and farting as well as picking up and throwing things like socks, litter and pencils. He'll do karate moves, a high-five, whistle and dance and has three demo modes. It can also perform a combination of moves in the order you select - for example walking straight, turning left and shaking hands. His working arms enable him to grab, push, pull, punch and pound while he can also listen and react to what's around him.
Robosapiens is equiped with six sensors throughout his body, that detect obstructions and and make it respond to touch and sound signals from his environment.
In a press release, the company stated:
Brainchild of NASA scientist Dr. Mark W. Tilden, Robosapien is a major leap forward in robotic technology using the science of applied biomorphic robotics that enable his walking and movements to appear human. That impressive flexibility is evident as his seven motors let him run and walk at different speeds, performs 180 degree turns, dance, twist, blink and fight.
