Robosapien RS Media- Robots are taking the world by storm this Christmas! http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/robosapien-rs-media.html

Robosapien RS Media is a massively enhanced multimedia version of the Robosapien V2 with loads of extra features Robots are taking the world by storm this Christmas and the Robosapien RS Media is the leader of the pack. Evolved from the Robosapien V2. He interacts with people and his environment, has sight, sound and touch sensors, speech response, can recognise colours and skin tones, has full IR vision and can even track moving objects. He sounds more human than some of the characters we know.

Of course it can now be completely customised to reflect what’s going on in your feverish head! As the makers themselves say, it’s the perfect fusion of cutting edge technology and personality modelling software. And even though that’s a big statement, they’re right. It’s a bit like having a child that you can have complete control over…..hold that thought! The robot plays MP3s, MPEG4s, and takes photos and videos as he interacts with his environment. He has a head-mounted camera, a colour LCD screen in his chest, a full speaker system embedded in his armour, 40 MB of internal memory, and an external memory card slot. You can control this guy with the hand controller or using the media controls embedded on his hands. You can play Java games, navigate the media menus, switch between his four personalities (RS Media, Service Bot 3000, Space Bot, and Billy-Joen Sapien) or create your own personality using the RS Media editing suite software.

Robosapien RS Media Features

� Displays an image or MPEG video downloaded by the user onto the robot’s removable SD memory sticks, on the LCD display. � Stores body movements with you as the puppet master…and you can edit those movements with the robot’s accompanying BodyCon editing package. � You can record and store your voice into the robot’s SD memory sticks which it can playback � It has a 320 by 160 colour LCD Screen – High Quality TFT 1.9″ Screen, 16 bit colour, 176 x 132 pixels, which can show you what the robot is seeing through the head-mounted camera. � It has a camera–motion tracking, photo and MPEG4 encoding. � Speakers–11 watts of power, 2 hand speakers and back-mounted woofer for playing back your downloaded music files–makes a proper racket! � Sonic Sensor–2 microphones for sound localisation, 1 microphone for MP3 recording. � Operating System–Linux Embedded OS. � Memory–40 MB Flash Memory. � Upgradeable Memory–SD card slot up to 1 GB (SD card not included). � PC Connection–USB 1.1 (cable provided). � PC Software–File manipulation; create scripts, Macro flowcharts, BodyCons and Personalities. � Batteries–6 x “D” size batteries & 4 x “AA” size batteries (RS Media), 3 x “AA” size batteries (remote controller).

Choosing A Bluetooth Headset

Creating a good wireless headset for Bluetooth is actually difficult to do. The regular wired headsets are easy to design – with ranging styles.

Bluetooth headsets can never be as small or as light as wired headsets, simply because it needs to include the battery and extra functions. This extra size will impact how the headset mounts on or around your ears.

Comfort There seems to be two main styles of headsets for Bluetooth. Some are held into place with a loop around the ear. These styles are normally more comfortable, although they may be less secure. The others are held in place by being jammed into your ear – and usually prove to be less comfortable.

Factors to consider

Cost The cost is an obvious issue, something that you really need to think about.

Ergonomics

1. Check to see if the device is easy to quickly and conveniently put on your ear then take it off again.

2. Are the control buttons on the headset easy to use?

3. The headset should be comfortable to wear for long phone calls.

4. Can you use it with a pair of glasses?

5. Check to see if you can wear it with either ear.

6. When you aren’t wearing it, you’ll need to se how you would carry it with you.

7. The weight is important as well, as you don’t want something that has the risk of falling off.

Ease of use. 1. The commands and controls should be easy to remember.

2. The volume level should be easy to adjust.

3. The unit should turn on quickly.

4. The manual should be very well written and easy for you to understand.

5. There should be a support number for you to call if you should experience any types of problems.

Features 1. You’ll need to know about the battery, the talk time, type, and how to tell when it is going dead or fully charged.

2. How many devices can the unit be paired with?

3. Compatability is also important, as well as the warranty period.

4. Check the sound quality for both sending and receiving audio.

5. What type of range does the headset offer you?

Other important capabilities include voice tags, last number redial, tranfer calls, 3 way calling, link to other phones, call reject, and mute. You’ll also want to note if it looks attractive, and if it’s too big or too small.

Are you one of those people who would rather drive around town for hours than stop and ask for directions? If so, a Global positioning system, or GPS, could be the perfect tool for you.

A GPS is an operational navigational system that employs the use of navigational satellites. In other words, it tracks an individual’s location or provides direction, all by using an existing satellite system. GPS units are also capable of providing real time reference on earth, or within its orbit.

The satellite navigation system was implemented and first used by the United States of America’s Department of the Defense. Later, the system was adopted for use by other countries including Europe (Galileo) and Russia (GLONASS). In the United States, any US citizen may use the navigational system, free of charge.

The satellite navigational system is primarily divided into three segments:

* Space: As the name suggests, the space segment works from outer space. It operates through a GPS satellite constellation, located in an Intermediate Circular Orbit.

* Control: The control segment of a satellite navigational system is comprised entirely of control stations that are located on earth. These terrestrial control stations are scattered at locations around the world. These control the flight paths of the various GPS satellites, and synchronize the atomic clocks in the satellite. Ground stations also monitor the uploading of data through the satellite transmissions.

* User: The satellite navigational system is mainly made up of civilian and military GPS receivers.

A GPS is technically comprised of 24 satellites, the minimum number of satellites in a constellation. These satellites orbit around six orbital planes, twice in every twenty-four hour period. Each satellite carries an atomic clock, which continuously transmits precise time to the ground observatories located in the Earth. Additionally, the satellites send electronic messages to the earth. These messages may include data on precise time based upon the onboard satellite clocks, or information on their own orbital systems.

It’s not necessary for the user to be equipped with the precise clock, however a good short term clock may be required in order to receive the satellite transmissions best used in determining the exact location on earth. Different satellites employ various sequencing modes, allowing the transmission of messages to be received by the user from satellites using similar frequencies.

The primary GPS system was created to provide control over the military forces in the United States. This allowed for improved command capability, as well as the targeting and manipulation of missiles, smart bombs and other forms of ammunition. The satellites are also able to detect nuclear detonators.

Civilian users can also access the GPS system through their GPS receivers and GPS system software. Many cities in highly urbanized countries have improved the lives of their citizens where access is available to the free worldwide GPS Standard Positioning Service. The transportation sector has greatly benefited from the system, as many planes, ships and cars employ GPS systems for navigation. Hikers, glider pilots, mine truck drivers and everyday travelers enjoy access to the GPS system through low cost GPS receivers, ranging in price from $100 to $200. GPS receivers that are more precise are widely used by land surveyors for measuring land surface area, locating boundaries and surveying markers.

Time code generators also rely on the GPS system to acquire accurate time for precisely recording events in real time. Developers are also working on specially created GPS systems that will help visually impaired individuals.

Another, more trendy use of GPS receivers is the widely popular hobby of Geocaching. Children and adults use hand held GPS receivers to navigate designated sites and locate hidden objects. There are countless Geocaches hidden all over the world, with coordinates available on Geocaching websites.

The GPS system has brought both excitement and simplicity to the lives of countless people, all over the world. Despite the complexity of the system, anyone with a GPS receiver can use the service, free of charge. So now you’ll have no excuse for getting lost.
