If you’ve been intrigued by our previous posts on the new WowWee Femisapien, or E.M.A. the Kissing Robot, then you’ve probably been waiting to hear when she would become available. Robert Oschler, our neighborhood robot guru, has got the low-down…

Hello Judie,

WowWee’s first female robot ever, Femisapien, is now available for purchase for $99 (USD). So far she’s been spotted for sale at Amazon, Target, and WowWee’s online store and listed as being in stock. Femisapien is also known as E.M.A. the Kissing Robot.

It’s always a good robot day when Robert Oschler drops us a line, and today is no different. I had this little surprise waiting in my inbox this afternoon, and I couldn’t wait to share…

Hello Judie,

As part of a WowWee’s new “Insider Video” series, they released just minutes ago a pair of videos that give an advanced peek at some of Femisapien’s more advanced features. The first shows WowWee uber-inventor Mark Tilden showing just how easy and it is to script Femisapien simply by moving her body around (posing). The second 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 others 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 of $99 (USD).

Robert Oschler, the unparalleled guru of all things robotic, has just sent us a video of WowWee’s new robot, Wrex the Dawg. With a description like this, how could you not be tempted to peek?

Wrex The Dawg is WowWee’s new, hilarious, ill-mannered robot dog. With an appearance that resembles Frankenstein’s Dog if he were assembled from a disjointed set of junkyard parts, and a face not even a mother could love, you can’t help but laugh the moment you see him.  Some say comedy is the art of understanding the rules of a good drama and then breaking them.  If so, this robot dog breaks all of the rules.  He is absolutely terrible at being a dog and even worse at being a robot.   If it will make you laugh then Wrex will do it, and he doesn’t care how many rules he breaks along the way. He breaks down frequently on purpose. Some times he acts like a cat, other times he insults them.  He farts better than any robot alive and threatens to “tinkle on” nearly every object in your house (a groundless threat since Wrex The Dawg is without the necessary equipment, but it’s the thought that counts!) In short, Wrex The Dog is the silliest robot you’ll ever love!

This came in today from Robert Oschler, our very own robotic mad scientist…

Hey Judie,

Here’s brand new detailed coverage on WowWee’s upcoming Tri-Bot robot, which we created after playing with him solid for several days:

We just released an In-depth video review that covers the important features and capabilities of the latest successor in WowWee’s Robosapien line of robots, the Tri-Bot. When you combine Tri-Bot’s ability to be driven merely by tilting his remote control along with his unique three wheel base, the net result is a simple to own and easy to love robot with amazing mobility not seen before in consumer robots. This YouTube video will show you these cool features, several of his fun and useful behavior modes, and tell you about the games Tri-Bot can play with you:
