Even before Toy Fair in New York City next month (Feb 2015) here's a preview from WowWee.

Last year we talked about the MiP robot who can zoom around balancing things like a can of soda of a tray he can carry. Well the folks at WowWee said they felt MiP needed company, so they created the MiPosaur. Here what WowWee says about their new creation. The MiPosaur is a highly intelligent robotic creature with an incredible, evolving intelligence and personality. It can sense its own surroundings and environment, and interact with them in a unique and lifelike way. In addition to featuring GestureSense technology that lets you control it with the swipe of your hand, the MiPosaur has sturdy MIP (Mobile Inverted Pendulum, created with the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab) balance and comes with an interactive TrackBall equipped with BeaconSense technology. With it, the MiPosaur can chase the trackball, play with it, guard it, as well as alter its moods depending on the various interactions. The MiPosaur is fully interactive with the MiP robot and a BLE enabled app, compatible with both iOS and Android smart devices, and will feature exciting and engaging games. MSRP $119.99 Mid Q3 2015 Release which usually means Fall 2015.
