Programmable RoboPhilo humanoid on sale now for $500

RoboPhilo -- the self-proclaimed personal humanoid of your dreams -- has landed just in time for the holidays after being announced months back, and yep, it will indeed sell for under five bills. Available now at the RoboBrothers website, this (comparatively) affordable creation comes ready to walk, kick or boogie down with 20 servos, an included remote and a couple of ports for good measure. Essentially, it's only limited by your imagination and programming knowledge, and is ready to consume your forthcoming time off just as soon as you cough up the $499 required to get it on its way.

All very impressive, but most importantly can it dance the robot?....

[M0le @ Dec 9th 2007 5:11PM]

Any dance is the robot it just depends on how advanced the robot is.

I, for one, welcome our RoboPhilo humanoid overlords.

[Ransom @ Dec 9th 2007 1:37AM]

i dunno, i don't think this is overlord material quite yet, despite those menacing fists

i don't know about anyone else, but the "humanoid of [my] dreams" would at least be a girl, if not a realistic hot looking girl... /nerdiness

Anyone programming it to play Doom will be worthy of much geeky respect.

Why is does this robot sound like it molests the other newer models and then makes sure the newer model doesn't go back and tell the production line...

[Johan S @ Dec 9th 2007 1:19PM]

I don't care if it has 10 million servos .. can it get me a Fanta from the fridge?

[murray @ Dec 9th 2007 1:30PM]

This thing is cute, but watching it try to walk is torture. IF you're thinking of getting one, be sure to check out the vids on youtube first, or you may be disappointed. It ain't no Qrio.

Before I'll even consider one of those it must perform the following task.

Scenario:
Three types of beer are in the fridge (and a bottle of vodka in the freezer). I say: "bring me Dark Lager", or "beer with the most alcohol content", or maybe even to confuse it " a shot of vodka"... In all of those scenarios, robot must read the labels and bring me the right stuff. Afterwards, it must do my laundry, clean the dishes. In the free time it must built Christmas presents from the scrap.

I know, I know... all these robots are part of the evolution, but they're just useless before they hit that stage. Looking at these robots, excecuting some macros, is on the same level of entertainment as watching the ceiling fan above the dining table.

how much different you can get to spend this much money from the other robot?
