Robot toys are identical to chicks in Japan

A Japanese toy maker has launched a toy robot that looks a lot like a real chick. This toy chicken was named Yume Hiyoko. It has touch pads to help with chipping or flapping its tiny wings when it is gently caressed on its back.

It looks so real that a chicken man in Tokyo says that it is very difficult to distinguish him from his real chickens. Masahiro Okada concludes that it is a great pet because, according to him, the person who feeds it does not have to feed it or clean it.

Unlike Okada's real chickens, the robot chicken Yume Hiyoko was unable to move. But the Sega toys say they are willing to sacrifice their mobility to create a more characteristic chick that consumers prefer - a hatched chick that looks real.

Sega says the robots are designed to make pets that people can carry and caress at any time. Yume chickens were sold for about $ 19 each. The company said it had sold nearly all of its 8,000 shipments in just a few days.
