The Roomba may be an efficient and discreet way to tidy up your filthy shoebox of an apartment, but don't you wish it had a little extra personality? Wouldn't you like to actually see your robotic housekeeper doing work, instead of just making dust and snack shrapnel mysteriously disappear? Well, now you can, with WowWee's Roboscooper. As Engadget reports, the wide-eyed robotic maid runs on ...

WowWee's Mr. Personality bot made its debut way back at CES in January but, like some other WowWee products announced at the show, it's only just now made its way into availability. As you can see above, the bot's a close relative of WowWee's Tri-Bot, with it boasting the notable addition of an LCD screen for a face, which promises to "display his personality with animated and synchronized ...

WowWee goes out of its way to make one thing very clear about the Rovio: "this is not a toy." That being said, it doesn't make the patrolling sentry any less fantastic, as critics over at Robots-Dreams proclaimed that it was "intuitive and a pleasure to use from the moment you first open the box." From the painless setup process to the unparalleled mobility, reviewers sounded like they were ...

The Rovio -- one of WowWee's finest if we should say so ourselves -- is finally ready to roam around domiciles and keep baddies at bay. First announced (and spotted) at CES 2008, this long-awaited robotic sentry is up for pre-order right now, and it comes packing a 640 x 480 Webcam to stream back live video in MPEG4 format. Furthermore, it can snap stills, head out on a customized patrol route ...

We got a chance to spend a bit of time with WowWee's Tri-Bot way back at CES earlier this year, but the folks at RobotsRule recently got a chance to put the bot through all its paces in advance of its summer release, and they've now churned out a fairly thorough review. On the whole, they seem to have been mightily impressed by the bot, and they think it'll appeal just as much to more DIY-minded ...

Robots are everywhere. Especially at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show last week. But here's the good news -- you'll be able to buy many of the robots you'll see talking, posing, and rolling around in the above exclusive Switched video. Check it out. ...

WowWee's Rovio is on the move. Check our video of this Wi-Fi-enabled robotic webcam. It streams audio in addition to video and gives users remote control from any Web-connected gadget, such as a computer or even a cell phone. Whether you want to know what's shaking with the fam when you're away or simply solve the mystery of which dog has been peeing on the carpet, you need look no ...

Who would have thunk it, but those Canadians sure don't mess around when it comes to... well, the "wow" factor. WowWee, a Montreal-based robotics company that brought us the Robosapien and the animatronic Elvis Head, is already dazzling the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas with some brand new products for 2008. Easily the coolest development from those guys that like to say "eh" is ...

Speaking of all-singing, all-dancing robots: From the same folks who brought Robosapien into the world of humanoids, comes this freakily realistic animatronic Elvis bust. For King worshippers (obviously), or anybody who's bored by their piles of the latest gadgets, the WowWee Alive Elvis ($330) comes pre-loaded with 20 licensed songs, 37 spoken-word Elvis-isms, and Infra-Red (IR) sensors that ...

Sadly, it's the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death today, but the King lives on in the Wowwee Alive Elvis, a singing, catch-phrase-saying, animatronic head that's sure to please Presley fans (and probably scare everyone else with its eerily realistic appearance). If you're a fan of this sort of mass-market robotics stuff, you may remember the Wowwee Alive Animatronic Chimp that came out a ...
