ApriPoko, the robot command universal Toshiba

At first glance, the Toshiba ApriPoko has reminded me a reincarnation of NEC’s PaPeRo we saw at 3GSM a couple of years ago, but the task of this little robot is quite different: function as a remote control.

At the moment is in prototype stage, but in its final version will be a universal remote control and voice activated automatically to learn of our actions. For example, when you first start TV will ask us and we have done, when what we say, store it, then he can perform this action.

For now only able to do simple actions like turning on the TV or change channels, but seeks to implement many more and put up for sale. The “bug” measured nearly 30 centimeters tall and weighs just over two kilos. And no need to worry because to rebel and try to annihilate mankind: You can not walk and, for now, the infrared are not fatal.
