Robots which have a general human shape, but do not try to look exactly like human beings

 

WowWee Robosapien Version 2 Humanoid Robot


Robosapien Version 2 is the next generation of Robosapien technology and personality from Wowwee. This new member of the robotic family comes with more advanced dynamic motion, interactive sensors, new program functions, speech capability, and a personality all his own. It's clear from the start that he enjoys bowling, dancing, and having conversations. RobosapienV2 is able to walk forward in four different styles, or gaits. He normally uses his IR vision and touch sensors built into his feet and hands to avoid obstacles, but if put into bulldozer mode, he will walk forward or backward and try to push his way through anything. Beyond controlling him manually with the included remote controller, RobosapienV2 can explore his environment independently in free roam mode. You can also direct his movements by using the remote's targeting feature--just point the beam to a spot on the floor and he will walk toward it. RobosapienV2 has been designed with a full range of motion. He can turn his head just like humans. So, too, can he turn at the hips and can move them forward and back and from side to side. RobosapienV2 can move each arm independently, and his hands can grab, pick up, and throw light objects, such as the included bowling balls and pins. He even comes preprogrammed with a selection of dance moves.

WowWee FemiSapien Humanoid Robot


Femisapien is WowWee's first female robot. She's smart, funny, can dance up a storm, and perform skits with you or with other WowWee robots. Femisapien features a revolutionary interface consisting of touch, tap, and hand gestures combined with the elegant simplicity of learning by posing make Femisapien incredibly easy to have fun with right out of the box. Femisapien has 3 main function modes, each corresponding to a different head position. Tilt her head in the desired direction and her function mode will change! In Attentive Mode, Femisapien interacts directly with you. She will slow pose, be your back-up singer, introduce herself, dance with you, and even blow kisses. In Learning Mode, teach Femisapien a sequence of movements that she can perform for you, up to 80 steps long! Femisapien is also pre-programmed with a number of precise functions and sounds that can be used as part of her program routine, including striking poses, holding and presenting thin objects such as business cards. Responsive Mode is her main walking mode; she can interact with your sounds or perform comedy routines. She will also detect objects at neck level, and stop when something is in her path. And, she can even respond to your hand gestures as you wave in front of her! Femisapien features responsive 4-way joystick hands. Each hand can be moved forward, backward, inward or outward to initiate various actions. Comes loaded with 36 functions and 20 interactive routines, so you will constantly be entertained. There are also 59 hidden functions to explore! Femisapien can communicate with, and even control, other WowWee robots, including the original Robosapien!

Features a Standby Mode to conserve battery power.

LEGO Mindstorms NXT


Sure, Mindstorms NXT is a toy, but it is an important toy, like a piano or a chemistry set. It's one of those items that engages an imagination and possibly opens doors to new interests. Since our future is surely to be shared with robots--it's already started happening, just look at Roomba--those robots will need, at least initially, humans to program and maintain them. Those people, years from now, will likely remember their experiences with Lego Mindstorms. The main part of the kit is the NXT itself. It's about the size of an iPod (though a bit thicker) with a a loudspeaker, a monochrome LCD, and navigation keys on the front. This is the controller for the robot--it's brain, if you will. It has three ports on top for connecting to the servo motors and four ports on the bottom for connecting to four different sensors: Touch, Light, Sound, and Ultrasonic.

Tomy I-SOBOT Robot


There's no shortage of fun with the amazing i-SOBOT, the World's Smallest Robot. Packed with over 200 words and phrases, and more than 200 pre-programmed movements, this robot can do everything from saying goodbye to dancing the hula. Recommended for kids aged 10 and up, the i-SOBOT is ready to rock 'n' roll right out of the box. With unbelievably smooth robotics, the i-SOBOT walks more like a human than a robot. This fully-functional and fully-assembled robot features 17 custom designed actuators and gyro-sensor, allowing it to keep balance and freely move joints for impressive performance, vivid movement, and incredible flexibility. Other main components include a built-in speaker unit and built-in microphone with a voice recognition chip. With built-in clutches and metal gears, the i-SOBOT offers up to 220-degree movement. The two infrared transmission bands allow the robot to be operated with an LCD remote control. Also performing by programmable memory and by the sound of your voice, the i-SOBOT will make your day and impress your friends with his moves. Putting the meaning back into "action-packed," the 6.5-inch tall robot dances to the beat, does push-ups and somersaults, imitates animals, hula dances, plays air guitar, kicks and punches with sound effects, and even responds to applause.

Honda Asimo

Honda Asimo


ASIMO is the culmination of nearly two decades of humanoid robotics research by Honda scientists and engineers. ASIMO can walk on uneven slopes and surfaces, turn smoothly, climb stairs, reach for and grasp objects, switch lights on and off, and open and close doors. Now, ASIMO can also comprehend and respond to simple voice commands. ASIMO has the ability to recognize the face of a select group of individuals.
Using its camera eyes, ASIMO can map its environment and register stationary objects. ASIMO can also yield to pedestrians in its path until they have cleared its path.
Sony QRIO

QRIO


QRIO ("Quest for cuRIOsity") was to be a bipedal humanoid entertainment robot developed and marketed (but never sold) by Sony to follow up on the success of its AIBO toy.

On January 26, 2006, on the same day as it announced its discontinuation of AIBO and other products, Sony announced that it would stop development of QRIO.
