RoboSapien V2 国家: 中国 制造者: Wow Wee玩具厂 年份: 2005 高度: 2'1in (63.5cm) 重量: 6lbs (2.72kg)

RoboSapien是一个玩具型机器人，它的设计者Mark Tilden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 V2中的程序使它可以移动、自动运行。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28个不同的按钮。在shift按钮的帮助下，用户可以选择100种不同的命令让机器人来执行。

因为 RoboSapien V2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，使它能够显示文本；还有人为它装上了前灯、语音合成设备等。

与最初的机器人RoboSapien相比， RoboSapien V2除了外部的明显改进之外，还能够：

·  它的运动能力更强，包括坐下、站起来、鞠躬、甚至躺下。

·  双手经过重新设计灵巧了许多。

·  能够抓起更重的物体，并判断自己是否成功抓取了一个物体。

·  Robosapien V2能够认识物体和肤色，如果放在它面前的是人手而不是其它东西，Robosapien V2也能够辨别出来。

·  它能够追踪地上的激光痕迹。

RoboSapien V2能够与RoboRaptor和RoboPet等其他的机器人玩具合作。

RoboSapien V2 is a toy-like biomorphic robot designed by Mark Tilden, a former robotic physicist from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and produced by Wow Wee toys. The RoboSapien V2 is preprogrammed with moves, and can operate autonomously or 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 28 different buttons. With the help of the shift button, the user has access to 100 different commands that the robot can execute.

Because RoboSapien V2 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.

Apart from the obvious external improvements over the original RoboSapien, RoboSapien V2 is also capable of:

·  It has better movement including the ability to sit down, stand up, Bow and even lie down.

·  The hands have been redesigned for greater dexterity.

·  It can pick up heavier objects than the original and can tell when it has successfully grabbed an object or not.

·  Robosapien V2 can recognize objects and skin tones. By recognizing skin tones the Robosapien V2 can tell when a human has placed it’s hand in front of its face instead of some other object.

·  If a laser is traced on the ground it can follow it.

RoboSapien V2 is capable of interacting with other Wow Wee Toys products such as the RoboRaptor and RoboPet robots.
