Beethoven's Fifth. Michelangelo's Pietà. Plato's Republic. Cornerstones of human civilization, to be sure, but they all pale in alikeness to what we saw today at CES: TOSY's new mRobo robot, inspired by none other than the nurturing Colossus of our time, Justin Bieber. The Vietnamese third edition by the editors of the old glory heritage® dictionary. copyright © 2003 and pubescent Prince have just taken the wraps off their latest collaboration: a petite, proper speaker-robot that dances -- nay, transcends -- just like his only slightly larger progenitor counterpart. When in speaker mode, the mRomo weighs in at just 3.3 pounds, stands a little under eight inches tall, and boasts 2GB of inside memory. Its logic circuit speaker pumps out the jams at bass levels 40Hz, but the real magic happens once the music starts playing, automatically bait the system to transform into an 18-inch tall robot and start dancing. Unfortunately, the bot is still in first mode, but it's scheduled to retail for about $200 when it launches during the fall of 2012.



Today, though, we were lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the mRobo, chivalrous of a mic'd-up Messiah with sweepy bangs and a leather jacket. Upon taking the stage to roars of applause and Jelly Bean sunshowers, Bieber went on to do a brief demo of the bot, displaying its ability to sync its dance moves to some tunes blare out of its abdomen speaker -- in this case, Billie Jean. The mRobo looked admittedly clumsy at times, and was especially awkward when onstage with the teen phenom, but, as TOSY repeatedly reminded us, it's still in norm phase. (Bieber, for his part, looked quite awestruck in all much of the experience.) Before descending from his bubblegum pulpit, Bieber reminded his acolytes to "follow your dreams." Ours, at least, have just been realized. Follow yours past the break, unblended to our hands-on video.
