Canadian Teen Sensation Justin Bieber Unveils Dancing TOSY Robot at CES 2012

Ontario-born music prodigy Justin Bieber gained many techie Beliebers yesterday at CES 2012 when he helped unveil TOSY's mRobo, a self-controlled dancing robot. In a video the likes of which you've never seen, Biebs pulls the cloth off a speaker that, by itself, pops out into a full-fledged robot with slick moves to match an epic beat. Clearly mRobo has a case of Bieber Fever.

TOSY Robotics JSC […] today unveiled mRobo Ultra Bass, a state-of-the-art portable speaker that doubles as a dancing robot. Boasting two gigabytes of internal memory, the battery powered mRobo allows users to upload about 500 songs into the device via a USB port and select which tracks to play using a provided remote. Once the music begins playing, mRobo, which can listen to its own music, music from other devices, or music streamed via Bluetooth, will instantly transform, growing a head, legs and arms, and will groove through a series of pre-programmed dance moves to virtually any genre of music.

"mRobo is one of the most innovative and interactive entertainment devices ever introduced," said Ho Vinh Hoang, Founder and CEO, TOSY Robotics JSC. "It gives music and dance lovers the ability to enjoy their passions in a whole new way. Not only do they have a great new way to listen to their favorite songs but they also have a new partner to dance to their favorite music with. We're thrilled to be able to unveil mRobo Ultra Bass here at CES 2012 with the help of one of the world's most recognized stars, Justin Bieber."

mRobo Ultra Bass is expected to retail for $199 and launch in the fall of 2012.
