WowWee, a company which specializes in developing intelligent robots and toys, has introduced its latest product called TriBot which is a smart android that features human-like personalities and emotions. This intelligent robot is designed to mimic human facial expressions with its movable eyebrows which tell its current mood and features a three-wheeled base which allows it to move around in flat surfaces.
This interactive toy also features alarm system technology which serves as an alarm clock for people who need a constant companion who can wake them up every morning. Another impressive feature it possessed is the interactive games which include maze, pattern, and minefield.
With a motion-sensitive remote control system, users can direct the robot to navigate around the surface with its three-wheeled base which allows the toy to operate and move around easily. The remote control also allows users to play the interactive games of this robot toy.
This is how TriBot Works: move around the toy robot by tilting the remote control. It will automatically avoid obstacles from its path and will tell the owner in case that it has fallen over. Another impressive entertainment function of this robot is that it can tell witty jokes, an interactive design which puts humor on this technology.
Other features included are three IR sensors and built-in speakers and requires eight AA batteries to operate. This toy robot comes in elegant red color and can serve as a perfect gift either for boys or girls.
The TriBot comes at a retail price of $99 and is available in leading supermarkets and stores which include K-Mart, Toys R’ Us, Radio Shack, BJ Wholesale, JC Penney, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Meijer, and Shopko. This toy robot can also be purchased in WowWee and eToy online store.
