Applications

The kit contains all the components and small items required to build and operate the robot. No particular computer knowledge is required in order to handle and program the robot, while excellent mobility is provided by its 19 joints: 12 leg joints, 6 arm joints and 1 neck joint. This high-quality model is assembled from a set of robust components to produce a modern, attractive machine with more than twenty pre-installed movement sequences.

These standard functions enable the robot to carry out basic movements directly, such as walking and turning, as well as special functions including hand-waving and various poses, without requiring any programming. The robot can also be controlled using an optional GRAUPNER/JR 40 MHz stick transmitter with at least six functions, together with a suitable receiver and accessories.

Applications

Gupi is a very cleverly made interactive toy. Gupi behaves like a real rodent, walking around and moving on its own accord. That means that he will avoid all obstacles when running around. Gupi has all the advantages of a small pet animal, without any of the disadvantages. This makes Gupi the nicest and cleverest little friend for many, many children around the world.

Gupi’s behaviour and emotions are very natural and, as a result, enchanting. When you take your Gupi out of his travel case for the first time he will be afraid, he will not move, shake his head and cry all the time. Just like a real pet, Gupi needs lots of love and attention. Lift him up carefully, put the carrot in his mouth and then cuddle him against your body, stroking him gently and lovingly. Gupi will now squeak contently and stop stamping and kicking.

Gupi will still be a bit nervous, so you now have to help him to start learning how to avoid obstacles. This you do by gently pushing on his back just before he hits something. Gupi will be gratefull and after a while he will be fully trained and happily run around the house without ever hitting any obstacle ... Of course, Gupi also needs to be fed. If you fail to feed him, he will start to complain.
Look after Gupi, and very soon you will win his heart !
