The LG Rolling Bot will connect to the internet and can then be controlled from anywhere in the world, with a companion app giving the user live video footage from the robot and the user can use the on-screen controls to move the robot. A with the controls a little like the Sphero Star Wars toy marvel BB-8, one touch screen element sends the robot forwards and
backwards while the other controls the steering. As well as an 8MP camera,
the bot also has a speaker and microphone and can also be used to control
compatible home appliances. Feel like keeping your pet company while you’re
at work (it has a laser for cats) or fancy keeping an eye on your home?
Try the Rolling Bot. Launching in April.
