Amazon.com Product Description Robosapien Version 2 is the next generation of Robosapien technology and personality from Wowwee. This new member of the robotic family comes with more advanced dynamic motion, interactive sensors, new program functions, speech capability, and a personality all his own. It's clear from the start that he enjoys bowling, dancing, and having conversations. Movement RobosapienV2 is able to walk forward in four different styles, or gaits. He normally uses his IR vision and touch sensors built into his feet and hands to avoid obstacles, but if put into bulldozer mode, he will walk forward or backward and try to push his way through anything. Beyond controlling him manually with the included remote controller, RobosapienV2 can explore his environment independently in free roam mode. You can also direct his movements by using the remote's targeting feature--just point the beam to a spot on the floor and he will walk toward it. RobosapienV2 has been designed with a full range of motion. He can turn his head just like humans. So, too, can he turn at the hips and can move them forward and back and from side to side. RobosapienV2 can move each arm independently, and his hands can grab, pick up, and throw light objects, such as the included bowling balls and pins. He even comes preprogrammed with a selection of dance moves. | | Direct RobosapienV2's movements with the remote's targeting beam and watch him walk toward it. | Sensors RobosapienV2 is equipped with a powerful vision system that lets him track the movement of objects in his field of view by moving his head and body. He will react differently to things based on their distance from his sensors. He uses his onboard color camera to identify primary colors and skin tones. This helps him identify his bowling ball and pins, and bowling is his favorite game. His ability to detect skin tones helps him know when people are waving to him or when it's time to shake hands. | | RobosapienV2 comes with a controller, a green bowling ball and 3 red bowling pins. | He also has hearing sensors that help him detect people in his proximity, tilt sensors that interrupt most functions to prevent damage should he fall, and grip sensors that tell him whether he's been successful in picking up an object. Programming RobosapienV2 can be programmed to move in many different ways. You simply enter moves into the program using controller commands, and RobosapienV2 will remember them in order. You can enter walking steps, arm and upper body movements, demos and animations, and even program subroutines. Once he's in guard mode, RobosapienV2 will execute the program if he hears a sharp noise or senses movement in front of him. The little guy faithfully remembers his program, even after being shut off, until he's reprogrammed or reset. Robo Companions RobosapienV2 can interact with other Wowwee robots, such as the Robopet and the Roboraptor. Just have the robots face each other and watch for surprising interactions.
Product Description The advanced new Robosapien V2 - now standing almost 2 feet tall - has grown to nearly twice the size of his popular but primitive predecessor. His blue LED eyes light up, blink and track movements with infrared sensors, and they even recognize colors. His vision, touch sensors and stereoscopic hearing help Robosapien V2 interact with his environment with remarkable autonomy.Unlike the prior generation, Version Two talks in English, interacting with humans and fellow "Signature Series" robots (Robopet and Roboraptor, sold separately) in surprisingly smart ways. The bigger, better body of Robosapien V2 strides with impressive biomechanical fluidity -- he can sit or lie down and get up again all by himself. Simply aim the wireless IR wireless controller at his brain and you're in command of scores of functions. Requires 6 "D" batteries and 7 "AAA" batteries, not included.

Robosapien February 11, 2010 M. Riley (Minneapolis, MN) I bought this for my six year old grandson. It is a little sophisticated for him, but I thought he could grow into it. He loved it. Unfortunately, there were a couple quality control problems with it, so I had to return it. Maybe in a couple years, they will have a more durable product. I will definitely consider it when my grandson is eight. He loves robots and is being raised to be a computer geek.
Overall, I would recommend it.
Robosapien V2 Real Fire Hazard January 31, 2010 J. Perez 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought a signature series robot last year, everything was fine until I went to turn it on one day and it would not come on. I collect vintage robots including Heathkit Jr., Hero-1, Omnibot 2000, Hearoid, & Androbot Topo robots. Of the new robots I collect 4 WooWee's and 2 Robosapien V2, one partially fixed now and the other in progress. I also work in the aerospace industry and have a bachelors in computers and electronics. The reason I'm giving you the extra info is so that you can find my review crediable. Now with the real review...Robosapien V2 is a FIRE HAZARD because the insulation on the wire harnesses that start at the battery compartments are crumbling, the problem is present on both legs. There are two balck wires and 2 red wires connectng to the Battery terminals tabs, a red and brown wire connecting to the foot motor, there is a board # 6028-17a with 7 wires with problems. There are a total of 13 wires leaving the foot all without the wire insulation. Each time people puts new batteries 6Ds and 4AAs the batteries short out, creating a lot of heat, enough heat to melt the plastic that surrounds the harnesses. If you are not a technical person, DON'T get this robot, instead get the Robosapien version 1. I contacted WooWee but never got a response about my problem, another reason not to get this robot. Scares me to know that companies don't check their products better before they put them for sale. There are several independent reviews on the Internet about the existing problem with the crumbling insulation on the wires and you can also check [...] for some videos showing you the extent of the Fire Hazard with this toy.
The Coolest Andriod On The Market December 7, 2009 Aieomee Blue I found this Robosapien V2 used (RSV2). He was in need of some serious repair work when I got him. Fortunately Computers and Robots just happen to be one of my areas of specialty. Upon finishing repairs, I pushed the power button and that's when the fun just got started.
I had so much fun with this little guys that we kept each other entertain for hours. Robosapien V2 is like having an electronic human being in your house. He has four of the five human senses built in. He can detect stereo sound, has touch sensors to avoid obstacles, and sense human presence, and even a full color digital video camera mounted in his head, to detect skin tones and color recognition. RSV2 has over 100 pre programmed function and you can program him for custom functions, using program mode. Only I wish that Wowwee had done a better job making it so he can walk easier. Check out the videos I recorded of my Robosapien V2 on youtube:

My personal opinion is that this is really an adult toy, for robot collectors like me. It is a little too advanced for young children who cannot manipulate the remote controller or the robots commands very well. It is a good idea to keep him off of tabletops. He cannot detect table ledges like the Wowwee Roboquad can. Other than the walking issue, I would highly recommended this robot for ages 10 to adult. I love my Robosapien and he's not going anywhere, anytime soon. Because I'm a robot collector, I'm looking for robots on the internet all the time. I search thousands of online stores. So far I really can't find any other robot that can measure up to the Robosapien V2. This robot really can't be beat!
Robosapien is a fire hazard!! October 5, 2009 David H. Scott (Hot Springs, AR) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
My RoboSapien quit working and I assumed the batteries were bad. When I installed new batteries the robot still did not work. When I removed the new batteries they were very hot, indicating that they were operating into a short. I disassembled the robot to locate the short and to my surprise most of the insulation on the internal wirng had fallen off. The insulation is of such bad quality that touching it causes the coating to fall off. I contacted WowWee, but all they wanted to know is if I had a receipt: My RoboSapien was a gift. This robot is a serious fire hazard and should be removed from your home. Six D batteries working into a short is more than capable of starting the plastic robot on fire. If you have a receipt, mine was a gift, you may be able to get a refund or a replacement from WowWee. WowWee made no effort to replace my defective robot or to explain why the wiring was of such poor quality.

Buyers beware and do some googling on this product before buying. The company has major quality control issues including bad wiring insulation which can cause fires. I have come across hundreds of posts saying the product fails soon after purchase. Mine did. They would not replace it since I had lost the purchase receipt.
