Robovie-mR2 Has An iPod touch As Its Heart
Another day, another robot, and we’re certainly not complaining. ATR (Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute) has come up with the robovie-mR2, which is a cute looking robot, small abundant to fit comfortably on your desk. Measuring in at 30cm tall and weighing 2kg, it sports an iPod touch dock in its chest, allowing you to control the robot via a wireless gamepad, or send it updates. The robot plus sports a CCD camera, 2 microphones and a speaker to communicate with you. The robot has 18
degrees of freedom, which includes moving eyeballs, making it look much more realistic. ATR is still deciding whether they should market that robot, though there isn’t any possible price point mentioned just yet. Check out a video of that robot in action in the full write-up.Permalink: Robovie-mR2 Has An iPod touch As Its Heart from Ubergizmo | RSS Sponsor: Win a Fellowes Microshred Paper Shredder!
