Shoulder Mounted Cheeky Monkey Robot

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 9 of March , 2010 at 1:44 am

Nick Donaldson and his little robotic shoulder monkey were frequently seen around RoboGames, but somehow MechRC has gotten their hands on the design and has turned it into a full-on production toy. Called Cheeky Monkey, the robot is controlled by a remote that’s hidden in your pocket. He has a velcro butt that sticks to your shoulder to keep him from escaping, and infrared sensing eyes to help him fix on the people he’s being cheeky at. When you’re not commanding him to perform one of 16 different actions, he’ll amuse himself, and there are apparently also a few easter eggs in his programming for you to discover.

Cheeky Monkey should be available in September for a mere $25.
