Joebot, Spyball, Roborover from WowWee at CES
WowWee intends to keep us busy with its latest gadgets on display at CES 2009. Rocking since the beginning with its flying and dancing robotic inductions, WowWee has extended its robotic spree with creations like the Joebot, the Spyball and the Roborover.
Joebot is a polished enhancement of the Robosapien, setting out superior skills and even better moving ability that includes walking and dancing to beats, which is good enough to keep you entertained for a while at least. Controlled by the Robosapien’s remote control, it also responds to voice commands.
Spyball is the latest robotic addition for the spy nerd’s collection. This WowWee robot is a remote controlled spy cam working on Wi-Fi with a great 360-degree viewing angle. The Spyball converts from a ball to a camera and vice versa in real time, and captures both still images and videos efficiently.
Roborover rolls around on tracks and has infrared sensors to dodge collisions. The remote controlled Roborover has a lot of skills attached, which include some spoken content, and LED laden sensors for the eye that light up when the Roborover walks into the dark. A homing device embedded guides it to follow the user and it also has some driving-based games to keep you busy.
