It is such a interesting robot as it can modified by users according to his/her perference. <BR/><BR/>I was hoping that new generation robots are able to "fly" or "float" in the air. As the robotic industry advances, probably humanoid can be fitted with thrusters to hover over a certain region; That will be fascinating!!Industryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147514266441490746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1143480083441057912006-03-28T01:21:00.000+08:002006-03-28T01:21:00.000+08:00U0308030 PHUNG DUC KIENFor the guys who modified t...U0308030 PHUNG DUC KIEN<BR/><BR/>For the guys who modified the Robosapien to take part in Robocup. I think they only utilized the robot casing and few sensors. They had to add the microcontroller, so the circuit would be vastly different from the original prototype. Anyone who wishes to use this robot for upgrading + researching purposes will have to consider thoroughly. <BR/><BR/>The most amazing thing about this kind of robot is that it's so cheap.Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887832757562395900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1143205397357455232006-03-24T21:03:00.000+08:002006-03-24T21:03:00.000+08:00One thing similar about this robot and Aibo is tha...One thing similar about this robot and Aibo is that they are both made as toys. And the same type of toys do not normally last long in the market (Aibo is a good example, Barbie is a bad one.)<BR/><BR/>Why? Because children get tired of their news toys easily. And these toys mostly do not serve other purposes. Maybe you could program robosapien to bring you a cup of water everytime you click a button. But Aibo? Mount a tray for it to carry water or fetch the paper?<BR/><BR/>And as for robots communicating with each other, what do they talk about? Liverpool winning 7-0? Whether FYP is completed? I'd like to know (XD) If they can communicate with each others, they could be use for other useful purposes then. Imagine a Robosapien being tasked to bring a cup of water. Then this Robosapien tasks another one to bring the cup of water. Added intelligence have to be added to ensure that the "elder brother" robot which is nearer to the water will not order its "little brother" robot, who is far away in the toilet (washing the toilet?) to bring the cup of water. <BR/><BR/>Well, one robot toy is quite boring to play with... Other than throwing objects, walking slowly, farting when you touch it, there's really nothing much it can do on its own. <BR/>However, if your friends all have a Robosapien, then it'd be fun to watch them play soccer. Take care not to get a sore thumb (from overuse of the remote control)!<BR/><BR/>If they upgrade the Robosapien to have more features, more expensive, then it'll probably another "Rich Man's Toy".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1143107248540247202006-03-23T17:47:00.000+08:002006-03-23T17:47:00.000+08:00U0300637 Choo Peng YeowI was quite interested in t...U0300637 Choo Peng Yeow<BR/><BR/>I was quite interested in the Robosapien even before reading this blog. One thing to add, whihc is also the feature which have attracted my attention. The Robosapien could actually communicate with another Robosapien and his "far far relative" Roboraptor, and order them around like his "small brother". Of course, I read this in a magazine, so I am not so sure if its true.Industryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147514266441490746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1143067547546730032006-03-23T06:45:00.000+08:002006-03-23T06:45:00.000+08:00U0204912 Lin ZhiqiangThe Sony Aibo was very much t...U0204912 Lin Zhiqiang<BR/><BR/>The Sony Aibo was very much touted when it was first launched and many speculated that it might end up replacing real pets but now production of Aibo dogs have stopped due to lack of popularity. Robosapien could become a fad just like many other high tech toys. However, Robosapien could stand a chance to win the hearts of the youth if their price is cheaper and functionality improved. We can pretty much gauge his popularity by observing the uprising trend of mods and hacks created to customize Robosapiens to individual's need such this community here: http://www.robosapien.tk/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1142936219884010942006-03-21T18:16:00.000+08:002006-03-21T18:16:00.000+08:00U0308345 Ng Sing JooActually the one thing that in...U0308345 Ng Sing Joo<BR/><BR/>Actually the one thing that interests me about this Robosapien is that it is considerably cheap for a robot such as this, a hundred plus (correct me if I'm wrong). Just imagine that if we would try to build one similar to Robosapien a few years back, how much would it cost? Probably a few thousands if anyone could remember the Sony Aibo (dog) which costs around 2 thousand plus then. This is actually good news because the cost of producing robots is going downwards, just like harddisks nowadays. This mean that we are probably closer to the "age of robots" as we are now in the "age of computers" after the prices of computers fell drastically. Robots will be the next "in" thing in the near future!Assistivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006065314130625352noreply@blogger.com
