RoboSapien

AIBO买不起的怨念已经很久了。这次一定要托人带一个RoboSapien V2。明码价钱还算厚道200多美元，就不知道这种东西（本质上是个玩具）过节的时候是不是会很紧张了。再说搞这东西，往小里说是玩具进口，往大里说是机器人技术进口，心里还没谱，说不定就在海关被卡下来了呢……而至今amazon上RoboSapien V1还缺货，V2甚至说还没上市。晕，老外们改得正high呢。

 

稍微逛了一下RoboSapien的hack&mod站点，下了几段视频，看了点hints&tips，确实挺好玩的！换控制芯片重写程序，加装蓝牙摄像头，最重要的是一句话"designed for modification"——令人热血沸腾啊。
