New Tomy Mini Pet Robots

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 29 of April , 2009 at 5:47 am

Robots Dreams has the scoop on some new itty bitty robot toys from Tomy. Details are apparently under embargo (although Lem managed to snag himself a couple, lucky sod), but we do know that they use the technology developed for the Robo-Q, which makes me think that they’ll probably be able to avoid obstacles and follow objects. There may be more, too, including “a set of surprising new interactive features.” They’re a little bit cutesy for my taste, but that can always be remedied with a dremel and a bit of paint… Assuming, of course, that the underlying hardware is worth messing with (and it’s cheap enough to risk mangling). And for the answer to that, it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit, but we’ll keep you updated.
