This adorable robotic panda is a fun-loving friend who likes to tell stories, play games and sing songs. Robopanda's engaging personality and bright animated eyes will immediately endear him to children of all ages. There's no need for a remote control -- you can interact with Robopanda directly through his integrated audio and touch sensors. Using capacitive touch sensor technology, he knows when he is being patted, touched, or stroked and responds accordingly; his audio sensor allows him to hear sounds for game play and other interactions.

At the touch of a switch, you can set him into one of three play modes: in Training Mode he will teach you how to play with him; in Friend Mode he will engage you in conversation and amuse you with jokes; in Menu Mode, you can use his sensors to navigate through his menus, review and select from among his many stories, interactive games and songs. When Robopanda tells stories, he invites you to make decisions that will determine the outcome of the story.

Equipped with an internal dual-axis accelerometer and tilt sensors, Robopanda knows when you pick him up or carry him somewhere, and he's going to let you know how he feels about it! And, he can even switch from sitting to crawling position, crawl on all fours and switch back to sitting again. Program him to perform a sequence of actions by simply moving his limbs around. Robopanda comes with an adorable plush panda accessory (who Robopanda will recognize and interact with when he's close by) and 2 cartridges containing interactive content. Requires 4 'AA' and 6 'C' batteries, not included. Measures 19'H.

Description is misleading Amber M. Rayas 2009-12-25
I thought this panda would do a lot more than it actually does. It can crawl, but not very well. It doesn't walk. It has no voice recognition. I paid $103 for it before Christmas, and log on today to see it for less than half that price. I feel like I really got ripped off. Very disappointed.

A great toy for a couple of days J. Kunkel Beidermeyer 2009-11-01
I like this toy, I mean it looks cool and it does STUFF, and my kids feel the same way - but! After a few days, the kids lost interest in it. It is a one trick pony. These days it sits on a shelf in the kids room, and never gets played with, so pretty much it is an item of decoration. The sad thing is that it comes with it's own little stuffed panda to interact with - the kids still play with that part.



We got ours new for $35 on clearance - I think $35 spent on a stuffed toy would have been money better spent. Gimmicks wear off on kids really fast!

Amazing Product! Ladybat 2009-01-08
My family was very impressed by the tricks and responses of the Panda.



I have told everyone there is an elf inside working the robot. (My daughter got it for Christmas) Worth every penny!

Sensor Troubles Robespierrette 2008-11-19
We bought this toy elsewhere, and we've had a few problems.

1) It constantly thinks it's being moved, and complains and whines about being motion-sick, all while seated on the floor, not being touched. (This is obviously a MANUFACTURING DEFECT, but I haven't been able to get a response out of Wowwee about it).

2) It doesn't always register on its various touch sensors. (Presumably also a defect)



But aside from the fact that our panda is defective, there are these issues:

a) The packaging took 20 minutes to dismantle.

b) It takes a vast amount of batteries

c) It's loud

d) It's whiny



If I don't get a response from the manufacturer, this thing is going back to the store, and we'll try something else. . .
