Think
about all the gadgets any self-respecting techno junkie would want, throw
them all into a robot resembling humanoid form, then add an operating
system for full customisation and what you've probably got, is a Robosapien
RS Media.
Standing
around 55 cm tall, Robosapien
is a digital camera, LCD monitor, MP3 player, voice recorder, video game
machine and much more, all merged into an interactive robot with arms and
legs!
|
 |
The 23cm remote controlled RoboPet
has a life-like walking, running and crawling motion. He has
infra-red, sonic and motion sensors to let him interact with his
environment. He even has different moods, ranging from playful to naughty
and expresses himself through barks, whimpers and growls.
NOTE: All robots interact with each
other! |

These lights fit onto the air valve of your wheel and because they use
photoelectric resistance, they only come on when it's dark ... and they're
vibration sensitive, so when you start moving, your tyres start groovin'.
Put 'em on your pushbike, they won't just look good, they'll make
you more visible on the road as well. So if you need to justify your buy,
you can chalk it up as safety gear.
