From the manufacturer
WowWee - MiP the Toy Robot
Roll Into The Future!
Perched atop unique dual wheels, this multi-functional and autonomous robot is more than just a toy. Equipped with GestureSense technology, any hand motion controls MiP, or load up the free MiP App on an iOS or Android smart device, and your eyes will light up at what MiP can do.
Features
MiP responds to hand gestures, carries its own weight, and comes with a free app that enables you to drive it, battle other MiPs, and more!
Unique Features
Immersive Personality - MiP is a real character. It speaks the language of MiPish, a combination of MiP and gibberish. You can feed it mood chips via the app to see just how whacky it can be!
GestureSense Technology - MiP responds to the swipe of your hand thanks to proprietary sensors in its eyes. You can swipe left, right, forward and backward. Hint: the flatter you make your hand, the more surface area for MiP to recognize, and the more responsive it'll be.
Dual-Wheel Balancing - Gyros and a unique pendulum-based balancing system ensure that MiP can stay upright all by itself.

UPDATE: There's a lot more that these little "things" can do, the kids are figuring it out. There's lasers (sounds) that they can "shoot" at each other (two kids = two MiPs) that'll knock the other over. There's a way to make them follow the user... I'm sure there's more, but honestly, I'm just glad I don't have to figure out how to make them work and the kids are happy :)
Sure you have batteries and a special screw driver or they will be frustrated to get it going it does many more things if u have the mini ipad
Excellent build quality and hardware features. However, without some additional software and accessories this you won't see lasting use.
Hardware: you WILL need a phone or tablet to unlock the limited potential of this toy. The included gesture and sound functionality is too rudimentary (and yet also hard to acess consistently) for lasting interest. If you don't plan to provide access to a tablet or phone, get WowWee's robotic dog product instead. Although it is easy to set up an obstacle course or seesaw on your own, purpose-built accessories would go a long way towards providing a "fiction" for the toy to inhabit, as well as proven fun activities.
Software: the existing apps are very well made and provide a significant boost to the toys functionality. I'd say about 75%. However, most are of limited scope and soon become repetitive. The best feature is the ability to remotely drive the robot and also record its adventures. I'd like to see a feature that allows kids to rudimentarily program the robot (perhaps to interact with purpose built accessories) not just activate sounds and colored lights... I'd also like to see the toolset opened to adults (Lua scripting?) so that they can extend the functionality for Pre-K through K STEM learning.
I understand trying to hit price points is important. But this is either a $75 toy with a few $25 accessory kits, or a $125 toy all in. The existing package (while decent) is limiting the potential of the product.

MIPを見て、立ち上がり、2足歩行に目覚める幼児が思い浮かびます。
音声認識はありませんが、拍手音を認識して応答する機能には、子供も大喜びでした。
スマートフォンから操作できる機能も、良いです。
