Mio - Sega Toys robotic dog - Tokyo Toy Show 2007
Written by: Michael Keferl on July 4, 2007 at 1:57 am | In Technology & Gadget Trends |Mio is the latest robotic pet from Sega Toys in the tradition of iDog, iFish, iPenguin, Yume Neko…there’s a lot of em’, that’s for sure. However, Mio is the the only one that truly develops a personality and shows it. Unveiled at the Tokyo Toy Show last week, we got a chance to check out Mio up close, snap some pics, get some video, and cop a feel or two.

While most blogs are reporting that Mio is music-sensitive, we find that it’s more touch-sensitive than anything, conveying over a hundred emotions via eye animations, sounds, and shaking it’s tail and ears. The lighting is quite cool as well, especially the top lights that react to touch much in the way Sony’s Aibo did back in the day. Mio is no Aibo, but it has multiple sensors around it’s body, can walk, and is generally a fun toy to play with. Be sure to check out the video for more:
