RoboSapien Robot Gadget comes alive after Head Transplant

RoboSapien is a modified robot gadget that originally was controlled by infrared remote but after the team at University at Freiburg modified it and gave it a head transplant (sort of like a robotic Frankenstein?) with a camera it became autonomous (self controlled).

The head was replaced with a Toshiba e755 pocket pc and a flycam-cf compactflash camera.

Then the team developed software to enable the robots to be able to play a games of soccer with each other.

You should check this video out and watch the soccer game yourself, it is actually kind of neat.  The robots seem like they have sprung to life just like Frankenstein.  Of course they are a bit slow in running down the field, but hey it is a start anyway!

You can actually get your own RoboSapien minus the head transplant. Just the standard remote controlled robot through the Amazon.com link below:
