Every kid — and every kid who has grown up — has dreamed of having a robot pet companion. and Robopet™ has arrived at last. He is small, cute and wonderfully like a real puppy — easy to love and he'll love you right back. After one encounter, you will regard Robopet as a real living creature — a fun and funny member of your family.
Robot-genius Mark Tilden — the man behind Robosapien™ V2 and Roboraptor™ — is the creator of our exclusive "Signature Series" Robopet. His invention is loaded with intelligent software and acute sensors that help Robopet move about autonomously; and to see, hear, feel and react to his environment. His little robot body walks, jumps, sits, lies down, begs, rolls over, sniffs, crawls, runs, shakes hands and scratches with incredibly lifelike biomechanical movements. He is smart enough to avoid ledges and obstacles on his own!
Robopet's personality is very expressive — displaying puppy-like moods ranging from friendly and curious to upset and cantankerous. And he is vocal — communicating with barks, pants, whimpers and growls. As Robopet's owner, you get a wireless controller with a Training button to teach behaviors with positive (Good Pet) or negative (Bad Pet) reinforcement; a Tricks button for Robopet showtime; a Target button to shine a "laser" light that Robopet will chase like a stick! Press Guard Mode when leaving Robopet alone and he will stand up and bark if he senses someone coming into his space.
Robopet measures 9" long and is "fed" by 4 AAA batteries; the wireless controller runs on 3 AAA batteries (order batteries separately). The Sharper Image offers exclusive Mark Tilden "Signature Series" finishes: Select chrome or red. Ages 8 and older. 90-day warranty.
