WowWee’s Humorous Personal Robot

Writing by Conner Flynn on Thursday, 10 of January , 2008 at 6:04 pm

“Mr. Personality” is one of WowWee’s new fun companion-robots. He sure looks like he has a sense of humor, but whether he actually does remains to be seen. He displays his personality on an LCD screen that features animated and synced facial features. He will tell jokes, read your daily fortune and even answer any questions about the future. The user can download new personalities from the Internet via USB or an SD card.

Mr. Personality has a fully animated upper body, color LCD screen, several play modes like Bits, Crystal Ball, Fortune Cookies, as well as demo modes. He is also supposedly capable of detecting and avoiding obstacles with great success. He will tell you when he falls or when the batteries are running low. Other features include: a three-wheeled omni-directional motion base, 7 motors, 4 IR sensors, a built-in microphone for taking voice memos, 64 MByte of built-in memory, audio input connector and he requires 6 “C” batteries. The remote controller requires 3 AAA batteries. All in all, a pretty interesting fairly different robot.
