My Mate Nuvo

Another entry in the robotics market . Check out this little guy. Heââ¬â¢s bipedal and stands 39 cm tall. Heââ¬â¢ll be available in different colours and would make a good alternative to the more common ââ¬Åpet styleââ¬Â robots. He can get back on his feet should he fall over and accepts commands via voice or mobile phone.

He boosts quite a few features for such a petite little guy. Sensors include joint angle sensor, acceleration sensor, rate gyro sensor and infrared obstacle sensor. His camera eye is CMOS, 310,000pix and heââ¬â¢ll hold up to 100 images. He has a microphone and speaker and Wireless 802. Under normal usage heââ¬â¢ll go up to 1.5 hours between feeds (charges) and can recharge in 2 hours.
Current availability is limited though, with just a trickle of Japanese versions being made available.
Check for more updates.

That looks pretty cool, I wonder if you could phone it up and make it say stuff, like “Sit” to your dog to freak it out?
