Amazing Gadget "Robotic Dog" by WowWee Abound at New York Toy Fair

The WowWee Chip – which actually stands for Canine Home Intelligent Pet rather than just being a cute name for a dog – can do almost everything a real dog can do, including chasing a ball and interacting with its owner with its very personality.

WowWee is taking artificially intelligent robotic play to new heights, amazing tech toys coming out throughout the year.

A robotic dog named CHiP by WowWee, described as being able to learn tricks from its owner, is demonstrated at the opening event at the CES 2016 consumer electronics show in Las Vegas.

CHiP, or Canine Home Intelligent Pet, is the ultimate AI Robotic Dog based on new Mechatronics, the latest in a combination of wireless technology, telecommunications engineering, and a suite of advanced sensors. CHiP recognizes its master and responds to commands using the included SmartBand and a rechargeable wearable controller. Also, CHiP plays fetch and fun games with the SmartBall, interacting in all the ways a real dog would, including playing soccer with you! CHiP will also know when it’s time to head to its special SmartBed and recharge.

Chip is definitely one of a kind. He is the smartest robotic dog which was created by WowWee. He can follow commands and learns behaviors that you teach him. He can follow you around the house, play ball with you and also he will return to his charging cradle when he needs to be refreshed a bit. Contents of the box includes, Chip, charging base, smart ball and a wrist band. The price tag will be $200 USD and will hit the market around the fall.

The Bluetooth-enabled ball can be used to play a whole range of games including fetch and football, or you can just set Chip to follow you around like a real dog.

When Chip gets tired, he’ll head, by himself, to his bed, which doubles up as a charging station. After recharging, he’ll be ready to play some more and entertain everyone who comes across him.

WowWee’s Chip will cost $199 when it’s released later this year and it’s sure to attract pretty much every age group – after all, who can avoid those beautiful, soppy, computerised eyeballs?

WowWee also debuted two other robotic beings at CES. The LUMI drone has been designed for gaming rather than just shooting round the skies, while the R.E.V AIR joins the company’s Robotic Enhanced Vehicle battle-game platform to generate engaging gameplay between a flying quadcopter and an AI ground vehicle.

These three new innovations aim to set out WowWee’s goals for 2016: to explore new AI technologies, while bringing fun to every home.

“WowWee’s goals for 2016 will continue on its path of providing innovation with proprietary technology in order to deliver exciting experiences to robotics and youth electronics,” WowWee Canada President Richard Yanofsky said.
