Tobbie is an artificially intelligent, six-legged robot that you build yourself! This fun, little interactive robot features numerous sound and light effects, developing his own emotions and gestures, just like a living pet. More than a robot, Tobbie will be your adorable, smart friend!
Tobbie promotes robotics and STEM learning while having fun! He has 2 intelligent program modes- Follow Me and Explore. In Follow Me mode, Tobbie follows whatever object you place in front of him, just like a fun pet. A slight motion in front of his eyes with your hand and, using his infrared sensors, he will follow you around for as long as you are willing to guide him. He can walk and spin in any direction, and will beep and flash his eyes while moving around. While in Explore mode, Tobbie uses his infrared sensors to auto-detect and avoid obstacles. His 360-degree turn radius allows for seamless maneuvering as he constantly finds new routes so that he can keep moving without hitting anything! Challenge Tobbie and create a maze for him to explore!
Note: Tobbie is a kit which requires building and may require the assistance of an adult, but it means that children can learn even while assembling the robot. Fun for all ages!
