WowWee’s newest addition to their line of robots is a female robot. The WowWee FemiSapien Humanoid Robot is a dully interactive dancing robot and has the most life-like movements as compared to any other robot manufactured by WowWee. This female robot has her very own language that consists of emotive sounds and it can also sense different gestures that you make. It responds to sounds, and will actually respond to your touch as well. It has the unique ability to interact with and control other robots made by WowWee.

A one-woman wonder WowWee announced this toy in January 2008, and slated it for a late summer release date. It should be a quick success, as there are very few robotic toys that can do what this one can do. There are three distinctive kinds of behavior for this little lady and it can show what she is truly capable of.

Attentive: Femisapien will see, hear, wander and dance interactively

Learning: You can create a dance routine for the robot that it will play back

Responsive: The dance routine is performed

Any of these behaviors can be accessed just by tilting her head. You can use her hands just like you would use joysticks. When you touch her hands, you’ll alter her movements. Her specialty is the ability to do an astounding 20 interactive routines as well as 36 different functions.  Read more... (427 words, estimated 1:42 mins reading time)

In this article, we’ll discuss some of the programs out there and what the do-it-yourselfer needs to watch out for.

Registry Cleaners Websites such as Finally Fast.com and Double My Speed.com have been promoting themselves heavily of late.

In addition, it’s available to any other program to write their information in there as well.

The Time Is Right:

The field of hobby robotics is more exciting today than ever before. The day when you will have a humanoid, walking, talking robot in your home that will do your cooking and cleaning looms ever closer. Short of having a real robotic maid or butler, there are many other options that can be built today on just about any budget. If you really want to enjoy a fun, reasonably priced hobby, you should try to build your own robots. There are many reasons why it makes sense create a robot from scratch rather than buying pre-made ones.

Affordable:

The technology that exists today staggers the mind in not only how advanced it has become, but also in how cheap it is to purchase. There are microcontrollers today that literally replace a room-sized computer of the previous century. The cost for such controllers can be well under $100 for a more-than-capable unit. Some can be purchased as kits to assemble and learn about computer architecture and electronics, others are pre-built units and some even come as single boards that are ready to “plug and play.”

Sensors for hobby robots have increased in functionality while they have also reduced in price. It has gotten to the point where advanced sensors like ultrasonic range detectors and infrared distance sensors even come with robotic toys like the Lego Mindstorms kits. The accuracy of these sensors is astonishing and affords the robotic hobbyist with very high-precision instruments capable of providing ample functionality on even an entry-level robot.  Read more...
