RoboSapien是一个玩具型机器人，它的设计者是来自Los Alamos国家实验室的前任机器人物理学家，生产者是Wow Wee 玩具厂。预先安装在RoboSapien中的程序使它可以移动。它的控制设施可以是一个内藏的红外线遥控装置、或者是在红外线发射机帮助下的个人电脑，还可以是装备了红外线的掌上电脑。

该机器人能够直立行走，而无需借助脚上的轮子；能够用两只手中的任何一只来抓握东西并做出投掷动作；还能像野人那样发出声音。它的遥控装置有21个不同的按钮。在shift按钮的帮助下，用户可以选择67种不同的命令让机器人来执行。

因为RoboSapien是运用BEAM机器人技术来设计的，并且没有微处理器，因此易于修改或操作。机器人内部的电子器件易于操作、并带有明确的标住。越来越多的电脑爱好者正专心于为该机器人增添新的功能。有人为它增加了一个电视实况摄影机；有人为它增加了一个发光二极管，使它能够展示文本；还有人为它装上了前灯、语音合成设备等。

RoboSapien is a toy-like biomorphic robot designed by Mark Tilden, a former robotic physicist from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, produced by Wow Wee toys. The RoboSapien is preprogrammed with moves, and can also be controlled by an included infrared remote control, by a personal computer with the help of an infrared transmitter, or from an infrared equipped PDA.

The robot is capable of walking without the assistance of wheels on his feet, grasping objects with either hand and throwing them, and has several different caveman vocalizations. The remote control has 21 different buttons. With the help of the shift button, the user has access to 67 different commands that the robot can execute.

Because RoboSapien was engineered using BEAM robotics and has no microprocessor, it is designed to be easily modified or hacked. The electronics inside are easily accessed and are clearly labeled. A growing community of hackers have devoted themselves to adding new functionality to the robot. Some hacks have added a live video camera; others an LED belt that displays text, headlights, speech synthesis and more.
