Meet Toybots Shimi robots. Videos.



Tovbot's Shimi made its first public appearance  at Google I/O 2012 last week, where not just one but three Shimis performed in perfect coordination. 

Tovbot was formed earlier this year by a group of robot researchers and entrepreneurs hailing from Georgia TechIDC in Israel, and MIT Media Lab.

 Their goal is to foster a new paradigm of personal robots - robots that don't just clean your floors or your pool, but also interact with you on a personal, almost human level. According to a news item on Georgia Tech's website,Shimi, a musical companion developed by Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping based on listener feedback.
