Robotics and high-tech toys manufacturer, TOSY Robotics JSC has launched an advanced portable speaker that also functions as a dancing robot. Pop and R&B singer Justin Bieber appeared with the brand new robot at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2012 held on 11th January, in the TOSY Robotics booth.
The mRobo is operated with a battery and features 2 GB of internal memory. Users can upload approximately 500 songs into the device with the help of a USB port; they can choose their desired tracks by using a remote. The music will play via a speaker and can generate bass at 40 Hz. The portable speaker can listen to music from other devices, to its own music, or music flowing through Bluetooth. Once the music starts playing, the portable speaker will immediately change, growing a head, arms and legs, and will dance via a range of pre-programmed dance moves to almost any type of music.
TOSY Robotics JSC’s Founder and CEO, Vinh Hoang stated that the mRobo is an innovative entertainment device as it enables music lovers to enjoy their passions in an innovative way. The device introduces a novel way to listen to their favorite songs and also provides a new partner to dance to their desired music.
The mRobo capability to change back into a speaker makes it portable and suitable for today’s generation. It measures 4.3, 6.3 and 7.9 in. width, length and height, respectively and weighs around 3.3 lbs. Its height is less than 18 in. when it changes into a robot. The mRobo utilizes a software to study the music for rhythms and beats to which it responds with matching moves.
