Robosapien Creator Out In The Cold

The creator of the Robosapien RS Media first started the Robosapien four years ago and since then he feels he's been ostracised because he "dared to do something fun".

He says that most of the serious robot makers feel that he's dumbed down the industry with the Robosapien.

Some of the issue may revolve from the fact that Tilden had a relatively serious career before-hand which included teim at Nasa and a researcher at the US government's research base at Los Alamos and now he's creating fun robots for money.

And now the Guardian is catching on and saying that the Robosapien RS Media "is likely to be one of the most popular toys this Christmas."

And Hamley's agrees, their buying manager: Dave Pope says the Robosapien technology "puts it light years ahead of anything else".
