WowWee was founded in 1988 as an independent research and development and manufacturing company, focused on cutting-edge technologies. The introduction of WowWee’s Robosapien™ robot in 2004 revolutionized the way we interact with entertainment robotic companions. One of the most popular entertainment robots in the world, with global sales of more than 5 million units, the Robosapien robot was the first commercially-available biomorphic robot - a fusion of technology and personality.
Loaded with attitude and intelligence, Robosapien is the first robot based on the science of applied biomorphic robotics. With a full range of dynamic motion, interactive sensors and a unique personality, Robosapien is more than a mechanical companion—he’s a multi-functional, thinking, feeling robot with attitude.
Robosapien™ V2 combines fluid biomechanical motion with a multi-sensory, interactive humanoid personality. This 24” tall second generation Robosapien is capable of autonomous “free roam” behavior and is capable of multiple levels of environmental interaction - with humans and objects.
Consumers can see items from five distinct product lines in 2008—WowWee Robotics™, WowWee FlyTech™, WowWee Alive™, WowWee Technologies™ - that include innovations that walk, talk, crawl, fly, purr and enable remote telepresence and communications.
Recently WowWee established Think Wow Toys division that produces and markets plush toys, novelty items, action figures and promotional toys, including third-party licensed characters and properties.
One of their latest robotic products is ‘Joebot’. This is the first WowWee robot which responds to key phrases and can be controlled by voice commands.
