RoboSapien,
the 14” bi-pedal, humanoid entertainment robot,
swept the world following its release in spring
2004. RoboSapien also went on to win numerous
awards and "best of" citations. RoboSapien
is based on BEAM technology and principles.
BEAM, an acronym for Biology, Electronics,
Aesthetics and Mechanics, is a philosophy that
espouses that the design and function of robots
should be based on simple control circuitry
instead of complex microprocessors and scores of
transistors. This simple circuitry is coupled
with sensor technology, and the machinery of the
BEAM robots body itself, to produce elegant
biomechanical robots that bear an uncanny
resemblance to creatures found in the wild
(especially insects). Equally important,
RoboSapien was designed to be extremely hackable
for the hobbyist, and hobbyists, for their part
have hacked hundreds of RoboSapiens.
