ON
Press once to turn power ON
OFF
Where is Robosapien's power switch?
• The power switch is located on the robot’s back, below the right shoulder blade.
• Press once to turn ON. Robosapien will awaken with a yawn, a stretch and then say "Uh-huh." Robosapien is now
ready for your commands.
How do I access the levels of commands on the Controller?
• By using the SELECT button! The Select buttons works just like the CAPS LOCK on a computer keyboard. Every
controller button can do at least three different things. Pressing the Select button once (controller displays a green
light) activates all the GREEN commands on the remote. Pressing the Select button twice (controller displays an
orange light) activates all the ORANGE commands.
What are the RED command buttons for?
• The red commands on the upper sections of the controller directly control Robosapien's movements (arms and legs).
For further information see page 7.
• The red commands on the lower section of the controller are used for Programming your Robosapien - for detailed
information see page 13 to 15.
What are the GREEN command buttons for?
• The green commands on the upper sections of the controller execute combination actions (Pick Up, Throw). For
further information see page 9.
• The green commands on the lower section of the controller execute your Programmed sequences - for detailed
information see page 13 to 15.
What are the ORANGE command buttons for?
• The orange commands on the upper sections of the controller access "attitude actions" (ie.,"High-5", "Burp"). For
further information see page 11.
• The orange commands on the lower section of the controller execute three pre-programmed demo sequences - for
detailed information see page 12.

The sensors on Robosapien's Fingers, Toes and Heels
can all be programmed to respond when touched.
They also trigger whenever he walks into an obstacles.
• Right & Left Sensor Programs:
a) Ensure the Controller is in normal mode (indicator light on Controller is DARK).
b) Press the Right or Left Sensor Program button once (Robosapien beeps - you are now in program
mode).
c) Program up to six steps (the Select button does not count as step). For example:
Walk Forward, Right Arm Out, Left Arm Out, (SELECT, SELECT, ROAR), Tilt Body Right, Tilt Body Left.
d) Robosapien will now automatically repeat your programmed sequence.
e) If you wish to program less than six steps, you need to 'close' the program by pressing PROGRAM PLAY
(
) once, after you've completed your selection - for example:
SELECT
Walk Forward, Turn Right, ( SELECT
) High 5, PROGRAM PLAY (
).
f) To trigger the sensor, touch a long finger, or a toe/heel sensor (on the side corresponding to the sensor
program you set). Alternatively press SELECT once (GREEN command mode), followed by R> or L>
Sensor Program Execute (depending on which side has been programmed) and he'll also run through
the routine.
• Clearing the Program/Holding the Program:
a) To clear the program and return to the Default program, press the Right, or Left Sensor Program button
once, followed by the Program Play button and the program will clear.
b) Turning Robosapien off will also clear any previously set programs.
c) Use the Sleep function to hold the program in Robosapien's memory for up to two hours.

once; Robosapien says "BEEP!". You are now in
program entry mode.
c) Program up to SIX steps (the SELECT button does not

• For example:
WALK FORWARD, RIGHT ARM OUT, STOP,
SELECT
( SELECT

automatically repeat your programmed sequence so you can check what it will do.
d) If you wish to program less than six steps, you need to 'close' the program by pressing PROGRAM
PLAY (
) after you've completed your selection - for example:
SELECT
WALK FORWARD, ( SELECT
- HIGH 5), WALK BACKWARDS, PROGRAM PLAY.

Sonic Sensor button. Robosapien will run through your routine.
g) To put Robosapien into SONIC RESPONSE mode, press SELECT followed by LISTEN. He'll now wait for
a sharp sound or tap on his body, then run through your programmed routine.

• Clearing the Program/ Holding the Program:
a) To clear the Master Program, press the MASTER PROGRAM button once, then press the PROGRAM
PLAY Button. The robot goes "OUAH!" to confirm the program is cleared.
b) Turning Robosapien off will also erase any Master Programs.
c) If you wish to keep your program, use the Sleep function (SELECT-SLEEP) to hold the program in
Robosapien's memory for up to two hours.
• Extending the Program:
a) You can extend the length of the Master Command Program beyond fourteen steps by "linking in" any
of the three Sensor Programs. Sensor Programs can be mixed and matched in any pattern.
b) First pre-program any Sensor Program with a routine (see previous pages 13 & 14).
c) Press Master Program to enter your program as normal. Press SELECT then press any R>, S>, or L>
buttons. This sensor routine will be stored as ONE STEP in your master program. Repeat to add
additional sensor routines. On playback, those routines will play with no pause between execution.
d) To enter a Master Program so that the robot waits for each sensor input, enter your program as normal
then just press either R>, S>, or L> as one step. On playback, the robot will STOP at the beginning of
each sensor routine waiting for either a sensor touch or sound. For example: WALK FORWARD,
SELECT
SELECT
WALK BACKWARD, (
- R>), R>, ( SELECT
- STOP), ( SELECT - L>), L>,
SELECT
SELECT
STOP, (
- S>), LEFT ARM UP, (
- S>), S>, S>, PROGRAM PLAY.

Troubleshooting Guide
If you are experiencing difficulties with Robosapien, use this
troubleshooting guide.
Problem
1
Robosapien is not responding
to the controller.
Solution
a) Stand robot upright, clear all obstacles from the feet and hand sensors, then push
Robosapien's ON/OFF button until you hear the yawning power up sequence.
b) For best results keep a clear line of sight between the remote and the infra-red receiver
in the Robosapien's head. Always point the controller directly at the head and stay
within 12 feet (3 metres) distance.
c) Check that batteries are inserted correctly and that nothing comes between the batteries
and battery contacts.
d) Robosapien might be in PROGRAM MODE ("Beep, beep, beep"). Press the
PROGRAM PLAY button at the very bottom of the remote, then STOP to restore
regular operation.
e) Certain types of electronic lighting or bright sunlight can jam infra-red signals from
reaching your robot. Lower the robot's sun visor or, if the problem persists, move
the robot into shadow or away from the interference.
f) The robot will ignore remote control signals during his wakeup routine. Wait until the
wakeup routine finishes, then he will respond as normal.
2
Robosapien has trouble
walking.
a) The hand or feet sensors detect objects in front or back. Use the BULLDOZER walking
mode (press SELECT twice, then BULLDOZER) or SELECT-STEP or SELECT-BACKSTEP to
move the robot away from the obstruction.
b) Robosapien may have difficulty walking on thick carpets or slippery surfaces. For best
results only use your Robosapien on flat, level surfaces (low pile carpets or hard floors).
c) Something is stuck on the robot's feet. Check that nothing is caught or preventing his
footpads, legs, or hands from moving freely.
3
Robosapien does not detect
sounds in Listen Mode.
a) Wait two seconds after LISTEN MODE activates before making sounds or tapping the
robot's body.
b) Robosapien does not hear sounds that are soft or low-pitched. Make a sharp sound
(eg. clapping your hands), or tap Robosapien’s body.
4
Robosapien’s limbs are not
moving the way I want.
a) Robosapien’s arms and legs move to multiple positions. When a limb is fully extended,
use several button presses to find new positions.
b) Reset the Robosapien to the default position. Press SELECT then the RESET (STOP) button.
5
Robosapien is behaving
erratically.
a) Press the STOP button twice, or turn Robosapien off and back on again.
b) Batteries are very low. Replace all batteries in the feet with fresh "D" batteries.
c) Something is interfering with the Infra-Red signals. Move the controller closer to the
robot, or move the robot to another location under different lighting.
