Fijit: A Creepy, Cool Robot for Girls – Video
Posted in: Robots Robotics, Tech Toys, Today's Chili, Toys 
After witnessing Mattel’s new line of robotic toys for for girls, I’ll say this–Fijits are cool. And really, really creepy. The toys have a decidedly Teletubby like quality to them. They’re made of a soft, silicone-like material. They respond to voice commands, dance, and can have something approaching a conversation. Fijit can recognize words and has more than 150 pre-programmed phrases.
The Fijits also have “Sonic Chirp” technology, which can unlock pre-installed features with external devices like mobile apps, TV commercials, etc.. She’s hitting the market in fall for $50.
Video of dancing, joking, and one really, really enthusiastic spokeswoman, after the jump.
