Toshiba ApriPoko Robot

Toshiba have built a robot called ApriPoko. This robot sits in your entertainment room and is voice operated. The ApriPoko is a universal remote which does not need to be programmed, instead this robot will wait until you use your remote control for your TV/ DVD player/ VCR/ PVR/ Satellite dish/ hifi or any other remote that uses IR censors and will then ask you what remote you were using or what function you had pressed on the remote. The ApriPoko will then store all the information and next time you want to access that function all you have to do is tell the robot to do so, the ApriPoko will then send out the IR signal and your function will be completed for example turning on and off the TV.

The ApriPoko Robot from Toshiba weighs 2.3 kilograms and also has a built in camera so that it can identify the user.


If you are a couch bum or if you can never find your remotes then this is the gadget for you, this gadget will save you time and money because you will no longer have to buy batteries for your remotes.

The Robot is still in testing stage so you have more than enough time to start saving, Toshiba are hoping to release this gadget soon.
