SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The past months were very busy at RobotAppStore.com. Thousands of people from all around the world downloaded robot-apps from the marketplace and granted new feats to their robots. Surprisingly, the users' interaction with the website didn't stop there. People are contacting the website's customer-service department with requests for more information about their robots, and about the components and sensors involved in the apps they've downloaded.

"This was a good surprise," said Elad Inbar, the founder of RobotAppStore.com, "Our users are deeply involved with our service; More than 70% of our customer-service requests are for more information." These findings are gleaned from seven months of ongoing discussion with thousands of robot-owners. "This hunger for knowledge has triggered our team to create the first encyclopedia for robots – the Robopedia." ( http://www.robotappstore.com/Robopedia/ )

According to the company, the first encyclopedia items were selected from the most common questions their users asked, but it is not going to stop there as Mr. Inbar explained: "The Robopedia is expected to keep growing; More and more items are being added every day by our community. Everyone has an opportunity to edit, or add items." The topics cover the present and future of robots, their components and concepts. It enables beginners and seasoned developers to obtain clarity about robotics' acronyms and terminology.

Under the supervision of Anna Sandler, Head of Product Development, the Robopedia also offers in-depth knowledgebase articles covering step-by-step application-development for numerous robots. (http://www.robotappstore.com/Knowledge-Base)

News Widget

Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
