Some suspicious bosses would love the remote controlled Rovio robot, as you can drive it around in your office space, to go around and watch what the staff are doing in the office.
The Rovio robot is equipped with WiFi connection, and it’s got a built-in camera that is capable of capturing both videos and audios, and stream them over WiFi. You can make use of Rovio to go around in your office space or your house while you’re away, to be a mobile watch dog for you.
Every movement of the Rovio can be controlled via the included remote control. You can adjust the neck-mounted camera, the audio and various movements of the Rovio bot from afar, as the captured videos will be sent over to you via the Internet. And you can view it on any web accessible device such as a mobile phone, video game console or a PC.
Rovio is kind of smart to go through obstacles along its route. As it’s equipped with a micro-GPS system that allows it to learn and locate the positions of other objects, making it capable of finding its way out precisely. When the battery is hitting the flat line, yopu can then send Rovio back to its charging dock for the refreshment of its juice. And all these actions can be done with just a touch of the button on the remote.
