Model Variations
Although most of their software and functionality is the same, there are some differences between RoboThespian versions.
Version specific information can be found under separate subheadings. Unless otherwise noted, the guides in this wiki are applicable to all RoboThespian versions.
RoboThespian with Hard Face - our standard model RoboThespian
All models share most of the same basic RoboThespian functionality and features, but there are key differences in the head and hand design
In the head 2 LCD screens bring the robots eyes to life, RGB LEDs capable of any colour bring colour to RoboThespian's cheeks, while a high speed servo synchronises mouth movements with speech. Custom electronics control and synchronise these features.
The fingers of both hands can be independently opened and closed, ideal for forming most gestures, pointing, counting on fingers etc.
It is intended for public display, demonstration and academic research.
RobotThespian with Projected Face - option
A different head design containing a pico projector projects the entire face of the robot. Using our InYaFace software the face can take on any form, is animated in real time to show any expression, you can even create your own guises (faces). InYaFace runs on the robot and is accessed in your browser - no installation required. Read more about the projected face and InYaFace here.
It is intended for public display, demonstration and academic research. The Projected Face allows mimicking of different people and characters.
RoboThespian with Gripping Hands - option
The standard model RoboThespian's arms are designed for fluid motion and lifelike gesturing. If you want to be able to grip and grasp objects with the same fluid motion we can offer Gripping Hands.
It is intended primarily for academic research, where manipulation of objects is required, but can of course be used in public display if desired.
