I think robots are cool. I bought my son a robosapien, he's cool and their are people out ther modifying them with fm audio receivers and video transmitters and hand held computers attached to their circuit boards for increased computing power, I even saw one with a mini-blowtorch attached to his back and it made a flamethrower from his left hand through a tube fed through his elbow into his hand. Pretty wild. You can see what I mean here.
I also need to add that there is another site about modifying the robosapien from one of, if not the first known pioneers of robosapien modifications, Jackie Samans here is an article site about some of his work:
Merged two posts..make sure to use the REPORT button when you want to add anything in your post which you forgot to add or if you want to change anything in your post..just use the report button and mods will do the needfull.
Cool, each person has their own hobbies and this one can be considered among those cool hobbies, I hate to admit but I don't have much info about Robosapiens.
They are produced by the wowee corporation. They can be purchased from around $70-$100 usd for the standard models. Try searching http://www.pricegrabber.com for some comparative shopping on them if you like.
When robosapiens first came out I didn't think it was worth it's price because it didn't do very much. Much hasn't changed but maybe some of these mods will change my mind. I enjoy building and modifying electronics.
I have an iCybie robot dog, had him for a couple of years now. This modding gives me some ideas. Maybe I could mod him a little.
The Cybie is a little more advanced than the robosapian, but not too much its a dumbed down version of the Sony Aibo robot dog. He has sensors that allow him to walk around and avoid obsticles, you don't really control him with a remote. He can be taught to respond to voice commands, but it doesn't really work that well. There are clap commands that work much better. He will even follow you around based on clapping. I know that the company that was making them went under, so if your son is into robots you may be able to pick one up on ebay on the cheap.

heading, read up this trully comprehensive and very informative set of articles. At least some good

There's a very interesting article that says that scientists have approached to programm robots
with routines that are self-aware and can interact in complex and arbitrary environments using
wireless technologies to cooperate with each others(as machines) and with other wireless networks.
Here's the link: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/200...r-fpa111005.php Enjoy:)....
I saw this on the news the other day and it just shoked me to see a robot so human like. Again Sony
shockes the world with new technology. This robot could walk, run, jump, kick a ball, walk up
stairs, dance, and even talk and ask questions. I can't belive this. Here is a link url to a
website where you can see the robot!!

I forget what they call the robots, but they have a computer screen, camera and infra-red
sensor's. The doctor sits in his office 30 miles away and can speak to his patients through this
robot and they can speak back. Just by sitting in that same seat he can control where the robot goes
and review patient history and other important documents. By keeping this method of doctory around i
think that the amount of doctors could become minimised because one doctor could serve to a whole
heap of patients through this new technology. though you would still need doctors that....
