The Yujin Robotics TransBot and iRobi

Yujin robots

Gotta love Yujin Robotics (Korea's answer to iRobot) and their home robot family which includes the Robhaz, iClebo (didn't we see that at CES?), and most importantly, the "expressive" iRobi and its slightly more violent sibling, the TransBot. iRobi appears to be something more a learning device and/or family companion, but TransBot's where the fun's at: with it you can program movement (their silly promo video shows it dancing), control it remotely, battle it with other TransBots, and transform it into a car. Does any of this seem a little a little anachronistic on the mad 80s-throwback tip?
