Vietnamese dance robots impress at international exhibitions

The performances of a Vietnamese pair of jumping robots became a major attraction in the largest consumer electronics exhibition in the United States.

DiscoRobo and mRobo show the dances in the company's booth at TOSY at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2013 (CES 2013) in Las Vegas, USA. Thanks to significant improvements in shape and operation, mRobo has truly made viewers admire their ability to dance and move extremely flexibly.

Digital Trends commented on the attractiveness of dancing robots: "No exaggeration, but it is true that there are always 50 people sitting around waiting for mRobo's dancing shows" . The site says that when it comes to market, mRobo allows users the ability to place a music and dance program through the company's production apps. The speaker mounted on the robot's belly emits music while it dances, waving its arms and moving on wheels.

At CES 2012, mRobo caused a fever when introduced by Justin Bieber. But on the occasion of attending CES this time, mRobo itself became a true star. Each performance of this robot attracted the attention of hundreds of people. Many guests dance at the booth to mix with the lively melody on the music of famous songs. mRobo has made a lot of dance steps, much softer with jerks, shaking or rotating before, and in the same rhythm as a real dancer.

The sound of the mRobo is augmented by bass, thus inspiring the listeners when it plays exciting songs. The arm is one of the most special parts of mRobo. With 6 degrees of freedom, its arms can perform complex and flexible movements like human hands.

MRobo's retail price is 199 USD, which is thought to be much lower than other "dancers" in the world market.

The wheel system is also an important improvement. It helps mRobo to tilt its body, move forward, move to the right and the left in a flexible way, more like a human movement. Thanks to the wheel system, the mRobo "dancers" can work together in pairs easily.

At CES 2013, mRobo also performed according to the famous Gangnam Style music, making the audience excited.
