i-Cybie Robotic Dog

The I-Cybie robotic dog, manufactured by Outrageous International, is a state-of-the-art responsive animal. Children can train I-Cybie to learn commands and respond to the sound of human voices. I-Cybie employs a sophisticated optical sensor to determine the locations of obstacles and walls. This sophisticated cyber-dog interacts with his environment and actually "grows" from a puppy to a dog.

I-Cybie's batteries last between an hour and a half and two hours. He lets you know when he's running low on power by dropping into a yoga pose with his legs splayed. To conserve his power, I-Cybie goes into an "inactivity mode" if he doesn't receive attention for a period of 20 minutes. I-Cybie can also learn how to play games and tricks with your child.
