Wow Wee is known for its robot dinosaurs and other heavily boy-oriented stuff, but here’s a change. A cuddly robot? Yup, the RoboPanda is an interactive, infrared and touch-sensitive, accelerometer-installed product of the 21st century that can tell stories, recognize its playmate, track objects, avoid obstacles and more. The Jetsons are now. It even has “moods.” It stands almost 2’ high and is just the right size around for hugging. David at Wow Wee was at a loss for more details, but said he’d been inundated with questions: “I don’t know anything other than lots of people seem to want to find out about it.”
Capable of reaching speeds of up to 18 mph, the radio-controlled flying insect features an ultra-light, dual-wing design and crash-resistant structure. It flaps its wings like a real insect and can take off from any smooth surface and soar, dive-bomb, hover and glide. The motion of the flapping wings can keep the bug aloft for up to 15 minutes.The futuristic bug also features multifaceted LED eyes, two pairs of fluttering wings, a powerful tail rotor and an elongated body that fits in the palm of one’s hand.
In addition to the Robosapien and Robopet, Wow Wee is now introducing the Roboraptor. The robotic dinosaur is fully functional in three modes: remote-controlled, where the owner controls his actions; free-roam mode, where the Roboraptor's artificial intelligence takes over; and guard mode. Motion sensors, infrared vision and laser-tracking technology all make this dino one of the smartest toys on the market, as well as one of the most fun and unique. — “The coolest toy on the market. Everyone wants one,” effused Danny Southerland, owner, CEO and head banana of Shenanigans in Austin, Texas. — “I was surprised that at this price point Roboraptors are outselling toys one-tenth their cost,” explained Rikki Desoto, manager of The Play’s The Thing in Rochester, N.Y. — “Amazing. Can’t say enough about it,” piped Tom Finci, owner of The Toy Stop in Portland, Ore.
Wow Wee adds another unique product to its incredible line of robotic creations with its invention of an animal robot called Robopet. This robotic puppy can sit, roll over and give paw if asked and can even interact with its owner and environment. Robopet also is intelligently equipped with sensors that detect sound and also has infrared vision.
This RC robot toy is the first of its kind to be based on the science of applied biomorphic robotics. A plentitude of features will keep girls occupied for hours. — Robosapien was a huge hit during the 2004 holiday season for boys and girls and continued to be a top seller at CompUSA in June 2005. — This product has won accolades from more than 30 award organizations worldwide since its inception. — In addition to his preprogrammed functions, he can be “taught” to learn a new series of functions.
Standing at around 14” tall, this second-generation robot was designed by robotics physicist Mark Tilden to surpass its predecessor, Robosapien, with improved articulation and more than 60 pre-programmed functions, including picking up, throwing, giving a high-five, whistling and dancing — all of which users control with an easy-to-use remote. In V2, Wow Wee has added a vision color system that enables the robot to identify objects and see skin tones. The robot also waves, shakes hands and can respond and react to environmental noise. It won a 2006 Oppenheim Toy Award.
WowWee Ltd. merges technology with nature in their newest line of robotics - WowWee Alive. Their first animal to come out of the wild into the living room is a highly detailed, realistic-looking, life size bust of a Chimpanzee. Using cutting edge Facetronics the Chimp is able to duplicate signature sounds and movements like his real life brothers and sisters. With realistic skin, hair, and moving features, people will find it hard to believe that he isn't alive.
Although entertaining enough for adults, kids can benefit from this friendly, stimuli-responding robot.
-- It is a winner of the Creative Child Magazine Preferred Choice Award. -- It was rated four stars by PC Magazine. -- It communicates “feelings” to its owner, inspiring communication in the user, and can perform up to 67 pre-programmed functions.
