First Peek at Robosapien V2

balancedi writes "According to OnRobo, the New Robosapien looks to be a lot more fun but it had better be at a $200 price tag. While still controllable via remote he now is more autonomous. He also has more range of motion, better hands, a vision color system, and a laser tracking system."

    "and a laser tracking system."

    Well this'll get it in trouble under the U SAP AT RIOT act! Better watch out for airliners when playing with this.

  7. Unbelievably Lifelike by popo · · Score: 3, Funny

    New ultra realistic 2.0 Robosapiens can get "depressed" (RealEmotion engine 2.3) in which case they just won't "want" to do anything cool. (It's pretty incredible functionality). So if your RoboSapien isn't doing anything particularly exciting -- its not broken, its just not in the mood. Oh, and apparently they also come with "RealDeath(tm)" -- so don't *ever* turn them off.

  9. a robosapien too far? by A3gis · · Score: 3, Funny

    does this line:

    "Sensory features include a vision color system that enables Robosapien V2 to recognize objects and skin tones"

    coupled with this one:

    "fully autonomous in free-roam mode"

    mean that robosapien 2 is now freely capable of joining the KKK of it's own free will?!??

    Sensory features include a vision color system that enables Robosapien V2 to recognize objects and skin tones; he can wave when he sees you and reach out to shake your hand.


    Yeah, but only if you are naked.

    And then watch out for recognition error. (That's NOT a hand!)
