Nice videos

I'd love to get one but wow $2200 for me (darn exchange rates)... I'd rather buy four more Pleo's and an extra battery for each of them

Yah, it's expensive...bought mine for about $1,700 (with shipping).

One funny thing that happened during the filming of Maya's dance video is that she ran out of power right at the end of the video during the 2nd camera shoot...she was exhausted after dancing so much!

Created a new more generic promo video for the Genibo-QD showing off Maya's playful side! Check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUEVJrAlRuQ

Very nice pictures, I thoroughly enjoyed watching them...

She sounds grate.
Way way out of my price league though.
If I had that kind of money I’d prob be buying the robotic lawn mower first? The garden could really do with it. lol.

One thing that confuses me. Though, why do they come with a spare tail? Louise

Pcenginefx · « **Reply #31 on:** February 04, 2010, 10:30:09 AM »

The spare tail is a different color, and as far as I can tell the tail can't break off (made out of rubber), so looks like it was included to give you another color option.

The proffesionalism of your videos are stunning.
You have some serious hardware and editting skills.
I hope you showed this to Dasatech... they might hire you for becoming their Genibo PR person!

Hi Darkwolf - thank you for the complement! I've not heard personally from them yet about my videos, but I'm pretty sure they have viewed some of them.

I've been doing video production for about 10 years now and I am fortunate to own my own equipment to make productions such as these - expect a lot more to come!

I like the programming and the robotics from the Genibo. But dang, (when I first read about it) I hate the over pricing. I really doubt I'll ever buy expensive, future robots that only the rich can afford.

I believe medusabeck just said something along the lines of Genibo being a really good price over at www.theelectrozone.com. If the place it legit, they have black and white for only $1,040.

Cool video dude!

Bumblebee · « **Reply #43 on:** February 26, 2010, 08:59:19 PM »

As cute as Gneibos are, I still prefer pleos.

I'm not really crazy about genibos or aibos. They're just plastic dogs that don't really possess the feeling and emotion that pleos do.
Apologies if this is offensive, but I have a little thing called 'opinion' and it's beginning to prick at me whenever I see how much people fawn over these things. $:-\$

Those are great videos =D they really show off what Genibo can do. Id love to buy a Genibo or Aibo but both seem to be difficult to find in the UK ^^;

Fleur · « **Reply #45 on:** August 19, 2012, 07:34:24 AM »

Here is a quick video I did of my Genibo, Kiwi. It shows more of her autonomous personality. The videos of Maya are great

Amazing quality!

I heard that "Star-Robots" sell Genibo but their website seems to be dead and I cant find any trace of them online :/ anyone know what happened to them?

Fleur · « **Reply #47 on:** August 20, 2012, 11:59:59 AM »

Star-robots was owned by x-do and x-wolf who fix Aibos for the Aibo-life community. They have not been repairing Aibos lately and from what I have heard they also stopped selling Genibos since there are so many other distributors in Europe already.

Thats a shame because there aren't any distributors within the UK or repair specialists (to my knowledge).

Yes. I'm not saying this is true of all robotics companies but once you're past the lovely warranty period, you're pretty much on your own.
