A new six-inch high robot dog that can dance to music, guard your laptop
and respond to more than 50 voice commands is being launched by
Japanese toy maker, Takara Tomy. The Omnibot I-SoDog can also eat ‘food’
that you offer it from your smartphone.
The new robot dog, named the Omnibot i-SODOG, is
expected to have realistic dog-like movement utilizing 15 custom
designed servo motors. It will feature voice recognition and respond to
hand signals using motion detection sensors. In addition to a dedicated
remote control that looks similar to the i-SOBOT humanoid control unit,
i-SODOG can be controlled using a smartphone. We're guessing that the
interface will be Bluetooth.
Based on the robot complexity and advanced technology, pricing is likely to be similar to the company's popular i-SOBOT robot that retailed for around 31,500 Japanese yen. The rumor is that i-SODOG's release date will be early 2013, though no official information is available at this time.Takara Tomy is expected to release more information, and perhaps to have limited showings of the i-SODOG, at the Tokyo International Toy Show that opens tomorrow morning here in Japan.
