Straight from Japan, this astounding ‘bot is named Plen and he can rollerskate with incredible deftness – and that’s just one of his talents. Billed as a ‘Desktop Hobby Robot’, Plen’s frame has 18 joints, and a gyroscopic sensor for balance and movement. You control him via Bluetooth. New motions for him are designed by dragging your computers mouse – Plen will do his best to copy the motions. He can then be made to carry out the stored “hobbies” at any time by Bluetoothing them to him – either straight from the computer if it’s Bluetooth-enabled, or from your phone or other device. A pair of skates is included to get him started.
