Product Description

Robosapien Media is the world's first multimedia interactive robot. At 25" tall, he comes with 100 preprogrammed functions and a multitude of different modes. Features include a head-mounted VGA camera, built-in microphone, full-color LCD screen in his chest, 10-watt speakers, and a back-mounted sub-woofer and MP3 player.

With humanoid body movements, infrared vision and stereoscopic sound and touch sensors, RS Media interacts with his environment in amazingly realistic ways. He recognizes colors, tracks movements with his eyes, avoids obstacles and reacts to sounds as you control him with the wireless remote. A full range of motion and a flexible waist enable him to pick things up, drop and throw objects, sit, lie down, and get up again. RS Media includes four demo modes, guard mode, sleep mode and auto shut-off mode. Can be programmed directly from the controller or in positional "puppet" mode for easy teaching on the PC software, included. SD card not included. Requires 6 "D" batteries and 7 "AA" batteries, not included.

Additional Features:

• Listen to your favorite music, take and display digital images and watch videos
• Download and display information from the Internet or import your own data using the external memory card slot
• Select from one of four distinctive, attitude-filled personalities; or create your own personality to edit his movements, sound files and video files (PC software included)
• Choreograph a dance routine to a favorite music track - a full range of motion makes him a great dancer

Customer Reviews

RS Media
WowWee Robosapien RS Media

Product is fine though only drawback I had was the USB 1.1 connector cable for hooking to the computer. I found it easier to use the SD 1GB Memory Card, once the robot had setup the directory on the card, in my USB SD card reader to send data to and from the memory card rather than using the provided USB cable which was slow and unreliable. I have loaded and played with several new 'personalities' for my RS Media ranging from a Battlestar Gallactica Cylon to Bugs Bunny with hilarious and fun results.

Fun Multimedia Robot
First off, I have always liked robots, so finding this one for the price and with his features was a real joy. But up until recently, they've been cost inhibiting. Most good consumer grade robots cost between $350 and $1500. So, for under $299, the WowWee RSM with its full featured list of functions seems well worth the price of admission.

Pros:
- Talks, Walks, and Dances
- Movable arms and hands
- Built-in Sound and Camera
- Customizable personalities
- Sound and motion detection.
- Programmable
- Built in MP3 Player
- And more.

Cons:
- Some issues with walking straight
- Difficulty walking on carpet
- Some builds have torso spring issues
- Turning is cumbersome
- Some programming glitches

Having listed the Pros and Cons, I have to say, that I am enjoying my RSM robot all the same. Even with its few shortcomings, the RS Media is a fun toy to have. Bring it out at a party, and watch people gather around to be entertained.

Oh ya, and don't forget the batteries. This bad boy uses 6 D-Size in his feet, 4 AA-Size in his body, and 3 AA-Size in the controller.

I'm hoping that WowWee comes out with a V2 for the RSM, something like a RSM-V2, that walks more human-like, and has some of the Cons (above) fixed.

If you want a fun multi-media robot to have and play around with for you and the kids, the RS Media from WowWee is a good choice.

Not sure did not work
This product was a Christmas present and when it was opened and the batteries were put in, it only stayed on for a second and did not come back on, so I am sending it back for a refund.
