Hearoid

Hearoid is the World's First Voice Programmable Robot which was manufactured by TTC in the mid 1980s. It has a smart control remote that can move and turn the robot, control the tape player to start or stop playing a taped message, play your voice (live) through an on-board speaker, start the playback of recorded programs and turn the headlights (eyes) on and off. The cool part is, you can also teach the robot to do all of the above when you speak into the remote!

Like the Omnibot, everything the Hearoid does can be programmed to tape and then played back. The Hearoid only has one built in alarm though. The arms and serving tray are identical to the Omnibot.

Omnibot

Omnibot is produced by TOMY back in 1985. It is a remote controlled, programmable robot which can serve drinks. This Omnibot have very clean shells and yellowing. After opening up and fixing a few minor problems, it is fully functional now.

Robie Junior

Robie Junior is a remote command intelligent robot made by Radio Shack. It reacts to your commands or you can have him follow wherever you go. Listen to what he says or let him carry something.
