‘Most advanced’ programmable robot is both vehicle and robot
The T9 transformable robot, says the company, is the first robot available in the consumer market that features all of the following functions: automatic convertible movement from vehicle to robot; bipedal walking ability in robot form; race function in vehicle form; and programmable/code development, robot control/commands by either voice or via app.
“T9 was meticulously designed and crafted with more than 3,000 state-of-the-art, high-grade metal alloy parts, combining a classic industrial design with the most cutting-edge robotic technology,” says Alex Skillman, Vice President of PR, Robosen Robotics. “Our vision was to provide the consumer, both young and old, an ultimate entertaining experience filled with AI, programming, and pure fun.”
The T9 comprises 23 proprietary chips and 22 proprietary servo motors (one for each artificial joint), allowing it to perform high-speed, upright bipedal walking, while also automatically converting from robot to vehicle form. Its animations are created and customized with three easy-to-use programming platforms – Manual, Visual, and 3D Graphics – and its storage has enough memory to store tens of thousands of them.
T9 is controlled by voice as well as via the T9 app (iOS and Android). With a touch of a button, it can perform the latest customized dance animation, race around in vehicle mode, change back and forth from robot to vehicle form, and more.In addition, users can collaborate, create and connect with a global community of robo-centric fans through the company’s Hub.
