Rovio, Rovio, wherefore art thou Rovio?

Rovio is Wowee’s new roaming robot which I first came accross whilst viewing Engadget. He will be coming to the UK around August time and is set to astonish with some pretty cool capabilities:

  • Wifi Enabled
  • Attached camera with 3 views
  • Bi-directional audio
  • It can navigate itself to preprogrammed areas within the home
  • It can locate its charger when it needs it
  • Omni-directional base (three wheels to move sideways, 360’s etc)

What does this mean? Well it means you can have a mini spy in your house! You can drive it around your home online, have two way conversations online, change viewing angles and when your finished it automatically drives itself accross to charge up!

Would I want one? In a word. Yes!

    Sounds like a pretty cool robot. It’s a shame that it can’t do the household chores like other robots but I suppose having a permanent spy in the house will be like watching Big Brother all day!
