Tiger Electronics’ newest toy robot is known as A.M.P. (Automated Musical Personality), and this one ain’t too tiny to be useless, measuring 2.5 feet in height. Targeting a much more mature audience, kiddies are out of the equation as A.M.P. is best played by 16 to 25-year olds, or at least that’s what Tiger Electronics think. The A.M.P. Bot is equipped with a couple of wheels and comes with an optional remote control. It balances pretty much like how a Segway does, courtesy of its proprietary gyroscopic technology. A.M.P. features a tiny backpack which allows users to store an MP3 player that is connected to it through a 3.5mm jack. Tiger Electronics will begin to take in pre-orders from August onwards, and the final product will be released a couple of months after that, falling in between the $400 and $500 price tag.
