The Robosapien is back and better than ever. Version 2 of WowWee's popular Robosapien includes a whole whack of new robot-like features. He responds to voice commands, recognizes colors and skin tones, has infrared vision for navigation, has dexterous hands, and moves much more like a humanoid. The V2 stands 24" high, almost twice the size of the V1.

A TV commercial demonstrates the Robosapien performing intricate movements including performing martial arts. Includes a bowling ball and 3 pins for some robot bowling action. Requires 6 D and 7 AAA batteries.

Compare it with the V2 with the original Robosapien.

The RS Media is another product in WowWee's line of biomorphic robots designed by Mark Tilden. The RS Media uses basically the same body as the Robosapien V2, but a different brain based on a Linux kernel. As the name implies, the RS Media's focus is on multimedia capabilities, including the ability to record and playback audio, pictures and video. It retains and builds upon the Robosapien V2's sensor array and programmability.
