It´s actually a robot running Windows on a mini-itx board.

Totally idiotic I know, who needs a robot that just stands around waiting....:lol:
Bad design too, with  those wheels it will just get stuck everywhere and it doesn´t have any arms totally useless. The Robosapien is a much cheaper toy and if you want a computercontrolled Robosapien just ducttape an old pda to it or use one of those universal ir-remote extenders.
