The
Tekno Puppy is a robotic puppy that acts just like a real baby dog.
The Tekno Puppy is a walking, barking, talking, crying robotic
friend. With just a few barks, whines and pants he will let you know
how he is feeling. With your help, he even learns how to perform
tricks.
|
| The Tekno
Puppy is programmed to respond like an 8 week old puppy.
Tekno sees and hears everything around him and knows when it
is getting dark (he sleeps and snores). His biological clock
wakes him automatically in the morning. He speaks several
English words including: "Tekno",
"whoops", "excuse me" and 'thanks". |
 |
|
|
Tekno has emotions and gets smarter as he ages. Touch
sensors are used to train him. His voice and light sensors
give him additional functions. He even sings and plays card
tricks. |
|
 |
He
sleeps standing still, because he cannot sit or lay down.
Tekno responds to light levels and sounds, but not to words
or individual voices. Tekno has no headset or remote. You
launch behaviors by pressing sensors on his head, neck, nose
and one side. He can also be set up as an alarm clock and
wake you in the morning. |
|
|
Tekno
walks forward, right and left and backs up when he senses
something in his way. He also wags his tail, wiggles his behind,
flops his ears and moves his head. The Tekno Translator lets you
know exactly what Tekno is feeling. You can also train Tekno to
dance, bark on command and more. Tekno's eyes give you a clue to
how he is feeling. His eyes change colors depending on his mood.
Tekno comes with a ball, bone & translator.
