WowWee MiP - Self-Balancing Robot
When you buy through links on this site, I may earn a commission.
Although not nearly as advanced as I, the almighty Green Head, the cool new MiP is a step, er, roll in the right direction for 21st century home robots. Once activated, this little robot freely self-balances on two dual-directional wheels and is controlled via simple hand gestures or the free app for iOS and Android. It features 7 different operating modes: Motion (hand gestures), Tracking (follows you around), Dance, Roam, Tricks, Cage, and Game and can even be controlled by drawing a path on your smartphone app. It also might seem tiny, but it can carry its own body weight on its removable tray which is about the weight of a soda can - so, it can bring you a drink. Check out the video below to see the MiP in action.
