WowWee Toys Announces RoboBoa, RoboQuad, and RoboPanda ... What Will Be RoboNext?

Posted on 21/01/2007 by wcox in Industry
WowWee Toys, probably one of the largest robotic toy manufacturers, has announced three new additions to it's robotic lineup at this year's CES show. In addition to the hugely popular Robosapien line of toys, you will soon be able to get a robotic panda, RoboPanda and spider-like robot, RoboQuad, and snake/worm 'bot, RoboBoa.


The RoboBoa claims to have motion detectors, alarm clock, and an iPod port for playing your favorite tunes. The creepy four-legged RoboQuad seems a bit more advanced with long-distance IR object detection, holonomic motion (able to move left/right, up/down without turning). It's also supposedly able to detect doorways and the size of objects.

The RoboPanda is a robotic "friend" and has several modes of operation. No word on whether it has "attack mode". He also tells stories and has a small Panda child to protect.

There are several videos after the jump.
