Going Ape over RoboSapien
Going Ape over RoboSapien
12/02/2003 12:24 AMTaiwan News has an article about RoboSapien being a
humanoid robot that dishes out kung fu moves. Mark Tilton, aka
BEAM
religious leader, and hyped as a Nasa scientist (you either like him
or hate him),
is helping Wow Wee
toys create the
RoboSapien which will be coming soon to stores at around $100
each. RoboSapien
is build on the BEAM concept like their previous toy BIO Bugs
(popular a couple a years ago), but instead of a bug it is sort of
like a
fast lumbering ape. It walks like a ape, it growls like an ape, it
even
passes gas like
an ape. It can dance and do kung fu. I"m sure kids will go ape over
this thing.

Having made many of the "must have" lists for Xmas 2004,
WowWee is introducing follow ups to their breakout product, the
Robosapien. A new 7-inch Mini Robosapien is the first to be shown,
shipping in February for just $10. More robots will be shown at CES
this week, including a new 'Robosapien V2,' a 'Roboraptor,' and a
'Robopet.'

Could it be that Sharper Image actually has something
marginally cool? Incomprehensible as that may be, it appears that the
technoshlock vendor is selling special edition "Signature Series"
RoboSapiens, available in both Chrome and Blue, with designer Mark
Tilden's autograph.
I realized as I started to write this that I had missed my little
brother's seventh birthday. Nate, if you're reading this, remember
that your brother doesn't hate you, he just, uhm, was waiting for the
chrome one to come out. Actually, your brother just calculated
shipping at Sharper Image, and you're getting a white one from someone
else, because with shipping prices like that they can blow him. This
is the brutal world of finance I am teaching you about!

The new Robosapien V2 looks fantastic. For just 200
bucks, the new bot will be able track objects and movements, recognize
objects and skin tones—all sorts of crazy stuff. Onrobo
(another one of the new robot blogs, a trend I think is great) has
details, as well as this first picture. Oh, and they have information
about Roboraptor
and Robopet, which the new V2 Robosapien can control (although
they can be operated independently).

Robosapien Update with Video
03/06/2004 02:03 AMThere's a lot of buzz lately about Robosapien,
Mark Tilden's latest robotics venture. Dave Hrynkiw of Solarbotics
sent us this update:
"Solarbotics visited Mark Tilden at the Wow-Wee show room during
the
2004 New York City Toy Fair. The Robosapien has been getting very high
interest, garnering coverage in both the toy-trade and TIME magazine
issues released during the fair. It's presently on pre-sale at
BestBuy.com (on their website cover
page) for $99.99 (yes we know that Toys'R'Us
/ Amazon list it for $89.99, but we have it on good authority that
they'll most likely not be getting it in stock before BestBuy does).We
are fortunate to be the first to bring you video
footage of what the production Robosapien is capable of. Enjoy!"
The Solarbotics site also has plenty of photos
and video of the development and pre-production versions of the robot.

Gadget Madness has completed an arduous multi-week
"experience" with the RoboSapien that has ended (as many love affairs
do) with a music video. See the white robot ape chase away pigeons,
bask in the plastic-crackling sun, and co-opt the culture of black
robots - sort of a mechsploitation film, really. They've also
got a really nice collection of links at the end of their review for
those interested in hacking their RoboSapien to do even more than it
does out of the box.

GadgetMadness confirms the release date of WowWee's next set
of Robots and I have to say I'm disappointed. While I'm not looking
forward to paying $200 for a Robosapien V2, I'm most certainly not
looking forward to waiting until December before I can get my hands on
one. The RoboRaptor [pictured] will launch for $100 in August, which
might sooth me, although I may wait to go cheap in October and get one
of the ambiguously named Robotpets for $70 instead. Or I'll do what I
did with the first Robosapien and get one for my brother, then steal
it from him when I go home for the holidays.

E3 roundup
06/05/2005 10:53 PMAnother E3 is ready to wrap up. Before it rides off into the sunset
until 2006, check out Kurt Mackey's roundup of all things E3.
The big news at this year’s E3 was the
introductions of next generation consoles from Sony, Nintendo and
Microsoft. The marketing material’s been covered pretty
extensively, and E3 was a good chance for scrubs like me to get (or
attempt to get) some more information about the upcoming
consoles.
Microsoft was the big winner when it came to showing off
next-generation consoles. Sony was second, and about all Nintendo had
to say about the Revolution was that it's about the size of three DVD
cases. Read on for the definitive E3 summary.

Review Roundup
Review Roundup
09/25/2004 05:03 PMA roundup of the stuff I've seen and used in the past few
months:
- Riding Giants
was fantastic, doing for surfing what Dogtown and Z Boys did for
skateboarding: making a sport interesting to regular folks. The big
wave stuff at the very end is really incredible, though if I had to
find any fault with this movie, it kind of glossed over the 80s
revival of big wave surfing, especially all the drama at the Eddie
Aikau contests.
- The folks at Bigha sent me a Jasper Laser to play
with, and it actually works as described. On dark, clear nights, you
can point at stars surprisingly well, and folks next to you can see
what you're pointing at. For complete amateur astronomers, this is
often the biggest problem as you point and try to describe stuff to
others. The laser worked so well one night that I heard my next door
neighbor ask "what in the hell is that?!"
- The "cr
ippy duck" bag from Crumpler is the best laptop/camera bag I've
ever owned, and might just be the last one I need. The laptop sleeve
fits my 12" powerbook well and I can toss the charger, my digital
rebel, an extra lens, and an external flash into the rest of the
interior space. Basically I can carry everything I might need in
something smaller than most of the messenger bags I've used in the
past.
- My bag is also filled with ziplinq cables, which work great at
connecting and charging my cell phone, my ipod, and my CF card reader,
in addition to connecting to ethernet when need be and modem
connections as well.
- Joel on
Software's book is a surprisingly good read. It's basically a book
of essays and blog entries but it's really well written, though skews
towards hardcore (C++) software development.
- I mentioned Medium Footwear on
this site about a year ago, but finally found a shop with a good
selection in San Francisco. I own a pair of these and they're some of my all-time
favorite shoes. Interesting on the outside, and a comfortable skate
shoe on the inside. Perfect.
- Jason took me to an
all-risotto restaurant called Risotterria that was really good and worth checking out
if you're in Manhattan.
