We’ve seen Darth Vader and Superman doing it, now it’s time for Optimus Prime to teach your kids a thing or two about maths and grammar.

Look at R2-D2, after having served as a webcam and other glamourous products, the poor little droid now has become a punching bag.

Some Ugobe folk wanted to see if a fully furry Pleo would still function properly (respond to touch, fuss & fidget, etc.).

WowWee’s robot snake, the Roboboa, is now available in the USA for $99.99.

Video footage of i-SOBOT, the world’s smallest mass produced humanoid robot, in a no holds barred battle up against Godzilla:

This lovely little robot will not only keep you company on your desk at work or at home, he will also organize the stuff you have laying around, and make sure you wake up in time.
He stands atop your table or desk and is poseable, with bendable arms and legs. His “hands” are clips that can hold memos or photos. Clock has quartz movement, sweep second hand, and a “beeping” alarm function. Time/alarm settings on back. Includes 1 button-cell battery. Metal. 8″ high.
The Robot Desk Alarm Clock is available at Catalog Favorites for $25.

At a recent SAAG 2007 meeting (Sacramento Area Aibo Gathering), YouTube videographer and SAAG member EllysDogHouse took this beautiful high quality video of a Pleo, fresh out of the box, taking his very first baby steps.

ElmoSapien is the latest free custom personality for WowWee’s Robosapien RS Media robot. In this video, complete with a furry red costume and Elmo’s attitude, watch ElmoSapien interact with other robots and clumsily initiate his plans for world domination.

This little robot has suction cups built into its feet, allowing it to climb up, down, around, and upside down smooth surfaces like windows and mirrors.
