description
The Robopet is a robotic dog produced by WowWee that is based on the biomorphic work of Mark W. Tilden. The Robopet has IR, audio and tilt sensors and is able to wander around autonomously detecting and reacting to objects and sounds. It also performs random 'tricks' such as howling, begging, rolling over and playing dead. Jump to a complete index of Robopet content.
Robopet has an autonomous mode where it can explore its environment using its IR sensors to detect and avoid obstacles. It includes an edge-detection mode so it can be placed on a table without falling off. Its internal tilt sensor detects whether he has fallen over, and it can automatically right itself.
