What year was the RoboSapien toy robot released?

The story behind the answer

2004 is correct: RoboSapien, designed by roboticist Mark Tilden and released by WowWee, launched that year (debuting around CES 2004) and quickly became a breakout mass-market humanoid robot toy.

It stood out for its biomorphic walking, 67 preprogrammed actions, and infrared remote—bringing affordable, lifelike motion to toy shelves and paving the way for later WowWee hits like Roboraptor. Memory tip: RoboSapien ’04—think “4 limbs” (two arms + two legs) to lock in 2004.
