Roboraptor is a robotic toy invented by Mark Tilden and distributed by Wow Wee Toys International. It is the successor to the Robosapien robot and uses motion technology based on realistic biomechanics that give it fluid and natural movements. It has a multi-function PlayStation style remote control that uses infrared technology to talk to it. Unlike the original Robosapien, the Roboraptor is capable of autonomous movement.
This 32” long Roboraptor is an advanced fusion of technology and personality. With his advanced artificial intelligence personality, realistic biomorphic motions, direct control and autonomous (free-roam) modes, the Age of Dinosaurs has truly returned.
 Roboraptor comes with several sensors that allow it to monitor and interact with its environment. It has infrared and stereo sound sensors on its head, and touch sensors on its chin, tail, and mouth.
It has four different modes of behavior or moods: hunting, cautious, playful, and free-roam. In hunting mode, it will react to sharp sounds and progressively focus its attention more intensely on repeated sounds coming from the same direction. In cautious mode, it will react oppositely and move away from sounds it hears. In playful mode, it will react to sounds in a more whimsical fashion but neither approaching nor avoiding them. In free-roam mode, it will explore its environment, avoiding obstacles and stopping occasionally to listen for loud sounds to investigate.
When one touches one of Roboraptor's touch sensors, its reaction will vary depending on its mood. Touching its face when it is  hunting will make it react angrily and most likely attempt to "attack" the person touching it. But if it is feeling playful, it will nuzzle the person's hand and then "attack".
Roboraptor can also follow a laser-like target painted on the ground. One can use this to lead it around a room under direct control. Although if the laser is pointed too far away from the robot it will not work.
