It is the successor to the RoboSapien robot and uses motion technology based on realistic biomechanics that give it fluid and natural movements.
Unlike the original RoboSapien, the Roboraptor is capable of autonomous movement, using 3 realistic gaits.
It features infrared, stereo sound, and touch sensors on its head, chin, tail, and mouth, enabling more enjoyable and participatory play.
In free-roam mode, it will explore its own environment, avoiding obstacles and stopping occasionally to listen for loud sounds to investigate.
It is not an autonomous robot so much as it is a wind-up toy, though the smaller version does actually run on batteries.
