Each day we see more robots, and if you’re fan of robots and portable speakers, you’ll be interested in this hybrid robot.

Developed by TOSY, mRobo is one of a kind robot that comes with built-in speaker, and it can easily play music thanks to its internal memory, but what really makes this robot so special is that it transforms into a 18-inch robot when music starts playing. In addition to transformation, this robot also dances, and when you’re done listening to your music, robot transforms again into its portable form. mRobo weighs 3.3 pounds and built-in speaker produces 40Hz bass, and as for the storage space, this hybrid robot comes with 2GB of internal memory. So far, mRobo is just a prototype, so it won’t perform any spectacular dance moves yet, but we’re looking forward to future improvements.

TOSY mRobo might not be advanced as other robots, but it’s definitely entertaining, and in regards to release date and price, we should see this robot in fall of 2012 for $200.
