Penbo by Bossa Nova(2010)
Who said robots are just for boys? Nova came out with an interactive pink penguin robot designed specifically for girls, called Penbo. Developed by Bossa Nova, Penbo robot offers tons of fun and entertainment to its users. The toy robot can amazingly interact with sounds and touch. It can even talk using its own penguish dialect.
Penbo’s responses depend highly on whether it’s sad or happy. If you want to keep it happy, you have to give Penbo a lot of love and care. It can play Hide & Seek and Peek-a-boo with you. And from time to time it interacts with its baby by rocking it to sleep.
