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.
