Java-Powered Humanoid Robots
June 6th, 2007 Posted in Software Dev., Tech Corner
Do you know about the RS Media Java ME powered Robosapiens from WowWee Robotics? The robot provides a complete multimedia robotic experience, and it can be fully customized and programmable according to your needs. In fact, these robots were used in JavaOne Robosapiens Coding Contest 2007 ;-)
The robot is equipped with a head-mounted camera, a color LCD screen in his chest, a full speaker system embedded in his armor. The robot is capable of playing MP3, taking and displaying photos and videos, recording and playing audio clips, and comes with Java games.
The two programming contests are The Dance Contest and The Escape Contest, and you can know more from this site. You will wonder the new and cool Java technology implementations in the robotics field. James Gosling, Vice President of Sun Microsystems showed 3 RS Media Robots in his ToyShow at JavaOne 2007.
Sounds cool right? You can download a better version here (170MB, MP4 format). It is really amazing and wish to get a chance to participate in the robotics development by using Java someday. 8-)
