The pink counterpart to Prime-8, Penbo is touted as the “first real robot for girls.” It uses the same locomotion tech derived from the RHex robot, but it also waddles. And has a baby called Bebe. Unlike Prime-8, it’s not strictly remote-controlled. This one responds to touch and voice and the baby. The baby willl summon Penbo and interact and play games with it. Penbo even responds differently to different color babies. There are 4 colors, each with around 21 features.
