More Info
Roboquad is a four-legged, spider-like robot with unprecedented mobility and awareness. The Roboquad is designed with advanced sensory awareness, helping it react quickly to the surrounding environment and pursue a moving object in any direction, including forward, backwards, and sideways. When a cat or a remote control car passes, the robot's head swivels around so it can monitor its environment without moving. After it sweeps the room with a tightly focused infrared beam, it makes rapid decisions about how to react to its environment. Once it identifies the object--the sensitive infrared detector can see objects as far as 13 feet away while also identifying their size and spatial details--the Roboquad heads out at one of three speeds, navigating through doorways and detecting table edges in the process. The 4-legged, spider-like Roboquad can pursue a moving object forward, backwards, and sideways.
The robot offers five scanning sequences: a Smart Scan, which examines the surroundings and then reacts if anything changes; Scan Left and Scan Right, where the robot turns and faces any object within a 3-foot range; Approach Nearest Object, during which the robot looks left and right while ramping up the scanning range, and then moves toward the closest object found; Escape Walk, where the robot selects the largest open space and moves toward it; and Flinch Response, which helps the robot respond to quickly approaching objects. In addition, many of the Roboquad's decisions are based on its three controllable personality settings, one each for awareness, activity, and aggression. For example, a more aggressive Roboquad will react more quickly to approaching objects than a mellower Roboquad.
The Roboquad also has four usage modes: Direct Control, Autonomous, Guard, and Sleep. Direct Control allows you to control the robot's direction, style of walking (crab walk, stomp walk, or rotation walking), and head movements, while in Autonomous mode, the robot interacts with his environment on his own as he moves through it. Guard and Sleep modes are designed for "downtime". In the former, the Roboquad visually scans the environment and stays alert for noises, then scares off intruders with a series of crazy sound effects. In the latter, the robot automatically falls asleep after five minutes of inactivity and then powers down after 24 hours.
The robot owes its imaginative movements to its agile rotating legs and articulated neck, all of which respond to Roboquad's advanced artificial intelligence. And watch out when the Roboquad feels like getting down, as the machine includes a built-in dance demo that will rock your world... or at least, cause you to collapse in giggles!

"
fun product, wish it would retain custom programing rather than re doing at power up. But this is a good product, my brother will probably purchase for his grandkids.

This is easy to use and cute. But my kids really lost interest pretty soon after buying it. To me, it was not worth the money.
