WowWee’s robotic dog, CHiP, will include a new voice recognition feature that will enhance the interacting and play experience. CHiP owners can now program their own name for their dog, and CHiP will learn its new name and respond to it. It will follow commands such as “come,” “sit,” “stay,” “lay down,” and “yoga,” for which CHiP will do a handstand.
CHiP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is an artificially intelligent dog, which uses wireless technology, telecommunications engineering, and a suite of advanced sensors to interact with kids. CHiP recognizes its master and will respond to commands using the included SmartBand, play fetch with the SmartBall, and knows when it’s time to head to its SmartBed and recharge. CHiP arrives in late Q3 2016.
