Default Giving the RoboSapien a Pocket PC for Brains

http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg....bro/robots.html

"We made the RoboSapien, developed by WowWee for the toy market, autonomous by replacing the head with a Pocket PC. The Pocket PC is equipped with a camera and communicates via infrared to the robot."



We've mentioned the RoboSapien before and how it can be controlled with a Pocket PC, but... this is just so over-the-top. :lol: You can download the code they used to drive the setup from the linked website. Hey, Toshiba 7xx owners, can you tell me if that's an e740 or e750? I'm guessing the latter.

Default Way Cool

It's a E755, the E740 has "Pocket PC" written above screen, E755 has no room for any writing above screen.


Really Cute, I'd say

Wow, I want one too! :lol:

I know they're not the same thing, but still reminds me of Aibo, the little robotic puppies that cost well over $1000. 8O
