CES Video: WowWee's FemiSapien Steals Hearts

As part of WowWee's 2008 line of robots, the company launched FemiSapien. It marks the company's very first servomotor-powered female. As you might expect, FemiSapien has much smoother moves and social skills than its robotic forefather, the belchy and flatulent RoboSapien.

I was lucky enough to visit WowWee's booth at CES 2008 in Las Vegas, and came away with this footage of FemiSapien in action. She blows kisses, dances, and learns depending on which mode she's in. What was most impressive is how fluidly she did all those things. Take a look.

Note: In paying homage to Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope," I'm trying to shoot all CES videos in one take with no edits. The results are interesting and natural, if flawed.
