RS Media (From: WowWee)
For 2006, WowWee packs even more technology and personality into Robosapien V2 with the introduction of RS Media. Along with every one of Robosapien V2™s amazing features, RS Media includes a multimedia experience that further enhances both direct and autonomous interaction with his owner and environment. With a full color LCD screen, speakers and subwoofer, a USB connector and MP3 and MP4 Players; RS Media can display and store data easily from your PC. Have RS Media play a song through the speakers in his hands to experience his high quality sound system. Using the Bodycon editor, you can edit all his movements, sound files and video files, and even his personality. You can assign voice files or choreograph a routine to a favorite dance track. Entirely interchangeable, you can turn RS Media into a Wise Guy or load in your own unique personality. Import photos or watch an entire movie using the external memory card slot. Let RS Media take a photo with his color camera, and then have him display it on the LCD Screen. RS Media can be controlled with an IR remote, or put him in puppet mode for easy “teaching.” RS Media can store up to two gigabytes of information and software is included which allows for PC compatibility.
Roboreptile ===> Roboreptile™ is an advanced fusion of technology and individuality- the ultimate herpetological species. With his low menacing stride and striking animations this futuristic reptilian has both direct control and free roam functions. Advanced sensor technology allows his awareness to reach new levels. Realistic biomorphic motions and advance natural dynamics enable Roboreptile to move in two emotionally aggressive gaits and two different speeds-walking on four legs and running on two legs. Watch as Roboreptile jumps, whips his long tail and springs into action. Roboreptile™s acute vision and sound sensors allow him to avoid obstacles, and when in guard mode make Roboreptile a formidable sentry.
Completely interactive, Roboreptile can be programmed with movements to enhance his fiery personality. Beware- this reptile knows how to bite! Show Roboreptile his food and watch him get excited; or turn on his internal ‘homing beacon™ and he will track his food down from across the room. Just don™t approach Roboreptile from behind, or he may run away. While his cowl is on, Roboreptile will become docile and friendly; remove the cowl

Robosapien RS2 Media and the Roboreptile The RS 2 Media still needs a little polish, as the "head" camera was just a digicam in a separate box hardwired to the bot, but the chest-mounted display impressed us considering its diminutive size. Even cooler was the new media/programming software, which allows for endless configuration and actually lets you preview an animated RS2 acting out the commands you want to download to the real deal. Robreptile felt a little unfinished too, but we liked it's three levels of aggression and the fact that you can satiate it with "food" or by covering its head with a cowl. Guess we'll have to wait to play with the P-Bot until we see it at T'R'U. More images after the jump...

The RS Media is by far the coolest new Robosapien to come out of CES. It is essentially an evolved version of the Robosapien V2. It is adding in multimedia hardware options and personality editing software. The RS Media has added stereo speakers to the body and hands, a subwoofer, a SD card slot, and a color LCD screen (equivalent in size and quality of the modern cell phone screen). The personality software allows you to download and create various actions, add sounds, add MP3 music, and choreograph dance routines. They are done with individual profiles also, so one SD card could be the White Guy Jamming to Journey while another profile could be a Straight Thuggin with Tupac. Additionally there is a head-mounted camera for picture and video recording. This Robosapien also has all of the other functions of the current V2 model: IR, voice recognition, movement recognition, bipedal walking, etc. This will be going for around $350 and should be available around November. Check out the other two new Robosapiens after the jump.
