Ever dreamt of having a camera on wheels? ROB-1 is the ultimate phone accessory – a video camera you can control with your Bluetooth™ mobile phone. Take ROB-1 for a spin around the office, race down the corridor, make a quick turn around the coffee machine and parallel park next to your colleague’s briefcase. Use your phone to drive ROB-1 around and check out the surroundings with the built-in video camera. When you see something interesting, take a snapshot. You can tilt the camera so it’s easy to get a frog’s perspective – no more crawling around on your stomach to take those hard-to-get pictures.

ROB-1 streams video at fifteen frames per second directly to your mobile phone. So now ROB-1 can patrol the corridor and look out for your boss while you’re in your room trying to break your Tetris high score.
