Roboraptor

A programmable Remote Controlled dinosaur.

Several multi-sensors allow this 32" bipedal beast to see, hear and feel the environment around him. He has multiple touch sensors in his head and tail, while sonic sensors detect sound and direction. He even has three distinct moods: hunter, cautious and playful. Go near his face when he's hunting and he'll behave aggressively; touch him when he's playful and he'll nuzzle your hand. With his advanced artificial intelligence personality, realistic biomorphic motions, direct control and autonomous behaviours, the age of dinosaurs has truly returned.
