Here’s a funky robot that dances to the music from Japan. You can even hook up your iPod to enjoy your music on the robot.
It’s a robot for pure recreation, I am not sure how it’d sell in the U.S. market yet.
The two-wheeled, dancing A.M.P. (Automated Music Personality or Ampbot) from Sega-Hasbro stands 2.4-feet tall and features a MP3 or iPod cradle on its back, stereo speakers, and the ability to follow and interact with its owner. There’s a 5-inch mid-range speaker in the chest and a pair of smaller tweeters in the shoulders for a total output of 12 watts. Osamu Takeuchi of Sega Toys says, “The owner can also enjoy being chased around the house by the robot.
- 12W stereo speakers
- 2 tweeters and a 5-inch mid-range speaker
- frequency response of 17Hz-20,000Hz
- audio input jack
- 4 control motors, 14 touch sensors and 2 obstacle-detection sensors
- 49 LED lights
- 62 sound effects
- remote control
Owners can control A.M.P. by choosing one of 5 different modes:
- Dance mode (A.M.P. moves to the music via its “internal beat detection software”)
- Drive mode (movements can be remote-controlled, i. e. you can move the robot’s head a full 120 degrees)
- Track mode (to keep A.M.P.’s speakers in your direction at all times)
- Park mode
- Follow mode (holding the remote control in your hand, A.M.P. will follow you anywhere using his infrared sensors until you pat his head)
Owners can plug their portable MP3 players into AMP’s back. The robot is powered by 6 D batteries and 3 AAA batteries, enough for approximately ten hours of operation.
