WowWee Rovio - cool home security / telepresence robot
William Henning - Monday, October 6th, 2008 | 1:38PM (PT)


It should almost be called "RoboSneak"

Robot Dreams has a review of WowWee's Rovio - a very high-tech looking home security robot.

Using a unique three wheel omnidirectional design it can move in pretty much any direction - or spin like a top in place.

Rovio has:

  • charging dock with "TrueTrack" beacon
  • three omni-directional motors with wheels
  • VGA cmos camera with motor
  • LED illumination
  • speaker
  • microphone
  • USB connector
  • WiFi connectivity

You can drive it around with a web browser from around the world, look through its camera, and talk to whomever you find... and listen for noises.

Highly cool.

$299 at their store.
