Hi-tech toy firm WowWee showcased a couple of its upcoming offerings at the London Toy Fair last week. Its REV cars allow users to battle each other in either single- or multi-player modes. The MiPosaur, meanwhile, is a robotic dinosaur that responds to gestures.

Some of WowWee's previous devices have included the Spyball Wi-Fi robotic webcam that can be remotely controlled from a computer, and the MiP self-balancing robot that can be controlled via an app or with gestures. As the name suggests, the MiPosaur uses the same underlying technology as the MiP robot.

Where WowWee is concerned, "MiP" stands for "mobile inverted pendulum." This is what the two-wheeled MiP robot and MiPosaur use to balance. In addition, the MiPosaur is said to have an "evolving intelligence and personality" and sensors that can detect user gestures.

Amongst the gestures to which this ferocious toy reacts are swiping a hand in front of its face to make it turn to the side, swiping around its head to make it spin on the spot, and covering its eyes to make it act frightened. It also reacts angrily to its tail being pulled. You can see these actions demoed in the video below.

The MiPosaur comes with a track-ball equipped with WowWee's BeaconSense technology (which the company refers to as "a proprietary indoor GPS system"), with which it can detect its surroundings and navigate accordingly. The track-ball can be used as a means of controlling the MiPosaur and for playing games with it. It's also possible to control the robot via a mobile app that is available on both iOS and Android.

Like the MiPosaur, the REVs, or "robotic enhanced vehicles" make use of BeaconSense. In addition to being able to detect and navigate around their surroundings, they can also detect each other.

The REVs come in pairs and are used to battle against each other by inflicting damage with impacts or with virtual weapons fired from the cars. They can be used with friends, and an unlimited number of players can join in if they have one of the cars. Alternatively, a single user can control one REV with any number of others set into autonomous mode for a man versus machine showdown.

Games that can be played with the REVs include Chase and Evade, Team Battle and Capture the Flag. The cars come with a stunt ramp and are controlled via a mobile app that is available on iOS or Android.

The MiPosaur will cost US$119.99 and the REV starter kit will cost $99.99. Both are expected to become available in the third quarter of this year.

The video below provides an introduction to the REVs.

高科技玩具公司WowWee公司展示了一对夫妇在伦敦玩具展上周即将发行。它的启车允许用户在任何一个或多个游戏模式中互相战斗。的miposaur，与此同时，是机器恐龙回应手势。

WowWee公司的一些以前的设备包括spyball Wi-Fi机器人摄像头，可以由计算机进行远程控制，和MIP的自平衡机器人，可以控制我通过一个应用程序或手势。顾名思义，这miposaur使用相同的底层技术为MIP机器人。

哪里WowWee公司而言，“法”指的是“移动式倒立摆的。”这是两轮MIP机器人和miposaur使用平衡。此外，该miposaur是说有一个“发展智力和人格”和传感器，可以检测用户的手势。

在这凶猛的玩具反应刷手在面前让它转向一边的手势，绕着它的头让它刷自旋在现场，和覆盖它的眼睛使它的行为吓坏了。它也会对它的尾部做出反应。你可以看到这些行动展示在下面的视频中。

像miposaur，转速，或“机器人提高车辆利用beaconsense。除了能够检测周围环境导航，他们也可以互相发现。

转速来对，用于打击对方造成伤害与影响或虚拟武器发射车。他们可以和朋友一起使用，如果他们有一辆车，他们可以加入一个无限数量的球员。另外，一个用户可以控制转速与任何数量的其他设置为人与机器对决的自治模式。

游戏可玩转速包括追逐与逃避，组队战和夺旗。汽车来了一个特技坡道，通过一个移动应用程序，在iOS或Android是可控制的。

的miposaur将耗资119.99美元，启入门套件将花费99.99美元。预计将在今年第三季度变得可用。
