Penbo: Robot Penguin For Girls
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 13 of July , 2009 at 4:29 am
We got a look at the Prime-8 robot gorilla back in January, and now it looks like there’s a new robot toy from Bossa Nova that’s targeted more towards girls, a robot penguin called Penbo. Whoever it’s supposed to be targeted at, I personally wouldn’t mind having one… They seem kinda cute, and their whegs style of movement is sweet.
Penbo plays five different games, responds to sounds and touch, and comes with one of four fuzzy little babies in its tummy. Each baby interacts with Penbo in about 20 different ways, and Penbos interact with other Penbos as well, by speaking Penguish (of course). No word on whether Penbo interacts with Prime-8, but it would be cool if they did interact in a predator – prey kind of dynamic… Like, the Penbos would all group up into a herd, and the Prime-8s would stalk around the outside until finally they cornered the Penbo with the weakest battery and then tore it to pieces. Brutal, yes, but such is the circle of artificial life.
Penbo will be available on QVC on July 25th (and Amazon after that) for $80.
