Overview & History

The introduction of WowWee’s Robosapien™ robot in 2004 revolutionized the way we interact with entertainment robotic companions.

Overview One of the most popular entertainment robots in the world, with global sales of more than 6 million units, the Robosapien robot was the first commercially-available biomorphic robot – a fusion of technology and personality. The Robosapien humanoid product line evolved to include the Robosapien V2 robot, launched in 2005, which added functionality, including speech capability; and the RS Media™ robot, launched in 2006 and featuring a complete multimedia experience, allowing users to create and edit functions. The next generations, the RS Tri-Bot™, Joebot, and Roborover robots, personality-packed companions equipped with different play modes for hours of entertainment, launched in 2008 and 2009.
