WowWee’s first female robot ever, Femisapien, is now available for purchase for $99.99 USD. She’s been spotted for sale at Amazon.com, Target and WowWee’s online store.

About the Femisapien, also known as E.M.A. the Kissing Robot:

Sophisticated and independent, her advanced design and AI allow her to move in distinctly fluid ways. She is intelligent and interactive, speaks her own form of Femmish and responds to user gestures, touch, and sounds with her own. She can even interact with and control other Wowwee robots.

Tilt her head to access her three main function modes: Attentive Mode with interactive wandering, seeing and hearing functions, Responsive Mode for walking and scripted actions, and Learning Mode where she remembers exactly how you move her. FemiSapiens hands have control switches you touch to change her motion, or activate with gestures she can see.

Here’s a video clip of her showing off some moves at CES 2008:

Features

• RS Femisapien has three 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, RS Femisapien interacts directly with you; she will slow pose, be your back-up singer, introduce herself, dance with you, and even blow kisses
• RS Femisapien features responsive 4-way joystick hands; each hand can be moved forward, backward, inward or outward to initiate various actions
• Acts as your own personal back-up singer with her Shoop feature; sing aloud or play music, and when in range, within 1 m, of any sound source, she will move her hips and arms to the music and sing a back-up tune.
• Comes loaded with 36 functions and 20 interactive routines, so you will constantly be entertained; there are also hidden functions to explore

The first detailed review ever of WowWee’s Femisapien robot (see previous sneak peek videos) is now online. Check out the video from RobotsRule:

In-depth review and companion video gives solid coverage of Femisapien’s revolutionary new touch based interface and shows several of her many truly unique and entertaining behaviors. Most importantly, the video shows that she is the first truly capable dancing robot in the consumer price range.

The review page contains critical tips for potential buyers.

Femisapien is scheduled for release this month and is already shipping in the Hong Kong and some Asian markets. Her estimated U.S. price is $99.

As part of a WowWee’s new “Insider Video” series, two clips giving a sneak peek at some of Femisapien’s more advanced features have been released.

The first video shows WowWee über-inventor Mark Tilden showing just how easy and it is to script Femisapien simply by moving her body around (posing):

The 2nd shows how the scripting-by-posing can be used to create scripts that show truly intricate movements in the setting of a Femisapien fencing match:

The Femisapiens aren’t really fighting each other since it’s all scripted and they are not tracking each other’s movements and then striking at a target, it does make the point strongly of just how nimble she is and just how easy it is to create fun skits with her that involve advanced body movements.

Note: The E.M.A. robot recently announced by Sega Robots is really WowWee’s Femisapien, which will be released shortly in the USA for a suggested retail price of $99 USD.
