Bossa Nova Robotics Unveils Robotics Toy Line
Posted on February 21, 2010
Bossa Nova Robotics revealed its new toy brand called iloveRobots at the New York American International Toy Fair. The iloveRobots brand includes Blazor, a raptor bot, Prime-8, a guardian gorilla robot, and Penbo, an interactive penguin. Each iloveRobots product is based on Bossa Nova's running legged technology inspired from robots at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, where Bossa Nova spun off as a company in 2005.
Penbo is a cute looking bot with a little baby called Bebe, while Prime-8 is kind of creepy looking. Penbo and Prime-8 are both currently available on Amazon.com for $79.99 and $99.99 respectively. You see what Prime-8 and Penbo can do in these videos. Take a look:
