Wowwee Roborover

The WowWee Roborover is an advanced interactive "companion" for children of all ages (Although some younger children may have a little difficulty interacting with the robot on their own). WowWees new lineup of robotic toys (WowWee Joebot, WowWee Roborover) were first introduced at the 2009 CES event in Las Vegas. The Roborover is more specifically a talking, tread-based robot that WowWee quotes to be a "roving explorer with an inquisitive personality that grows to become more confident as users navigate and play with him." The Roborover robot is controlled by a remote control; the little bot also features fully poseable limbs such as the arms, waist and head. The device is meant to start out shy when first being used and grow into a more confident individual; eventually he will be exploring and roving freely as he pleases around any family's house. The Roborover also features spoken content, and driving based games for additional entertainment, infrared sensors for avoiding obstacles and unique tilt sensors alert the robot when it has tipped over; Roborover can stand back up completely on its own. A special "Follow Me" mode will allow the robot to home in on his user and explore different areas searching for him/her similar to hide and seek; Roborover will even locate users in the dark. Light Sensor based headlights will turn on automatically in the dark so that Roborover can navigate his way.
