WowWee introduces Roboquad spider-like toy robot

WowWee who have brought to market the very successful Robosapien, RS Media and Roboraptor toy robots are innovating once again. WowWee showcased their new spider-like robot named Roboquad during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Roboquad has four legs and it can move in all directions at 3 different speeds. It is specifically designed for high maneuverability. Roboquad is equipped with a steerable head that houses infrared sensors used for constructing spatial models of the robot’s surrounding environment. WowWee claims that their new robot can detect movement at distances larger than 10 feet and environment features such as doorway edges. So, here is a short video of Roboquad in action (courtesy of the good people of Gizmodo.)
