Watch him dance to your music!

What do you do when you want to study social interaction? That’s right, you build a $30,000 squishy yellow robot. And that’s precisely what Hideki Kozima did when he created Keepon. But in doing so he also created a phenomenon because videos of his wacky research robot dancing to various songs became huge online hits. Enter, with a zeitgeist-riding price tag of just £39.99, My Keepon.

A kind of Keepon lite, this impossibly cute robot dances and bops in time to the music (or anything else) it hears via a built-in mic. It’s a bit like a high tech version of those old school dancing flowers but infinitely more amusing. With its uncanny sense of timing (well, beat detection tech) My Keepon’s ever-changing movements are astoundingly fluid; imagine gawping at a rubbery mutant tennis ball with Beyoncé inside and you’re halfway there.

Use the buttons to switch modes

But there’s more to this battery-operated boogie-er than funky moves. An array of sensors under My Keepon’s skin cause it to react in various ways to taps, tickles, squeezes and pokes. It will even change mood in response to your touch, with emotions swinging between curious, excited, sleepy and ready to attack the next idiot who plays anything by Justin Bieber. All right, we made that last bit up but everything else is true.

Twin buttons on My Keepon’s ‘stage’ allow you to switch between modes, but in all honesty you’ll be too mesmerised to move your hands, unless it’s to catch your jaw as it drops to the floor in gobsmacked awe. Hey, that rhymed. We digress. The point is this little yellow critter really is amazing. In fact we feel a craze a-coming, so get ordering before our limited stock shimmies out of the stockroom. Now where’s that David Hasselhoff playlist…

Cutest. Robot. EVER!

Please Note:

Suitable for ages 6+

Product Features:

The more you play with My Keepon the more you will get to know its moods. From happy, curious, annoyed, sleepy and even giggly, My Keepon will give hours of fun to the whole family
Dance mode: My Keepon loves to dance. A built-in microphone means My Keepon can hear your music, pick up the beat, and dance to it in its own amazing style. Simply put on your favourite songs and watch My Keepon start to move. Just like you, My Keepon will never dance the same way twice, so you will never tire of watching (or joining in)
Touch mode: My Keepon will respond to your touch with movement and sound, and loves to be patted, tickled and entertained. You can even make it sneeze – just scratch its nose!
Includes socket for optional AC Adapter (not included).

Battery Requirements:

Requires 8x AA batteries – not included

Customer Reviews

I think this is sooooo cute and really want one but are there different types? Lite, pro or something? Still love it!
Jen, Seaham, Uk - 4th December 2011

Firebox says: Hey Jen, there is a Keepon Pro, but it is only available for professional institutions as it is a more comprehensive robotic platform consisting of hardware, software, and service. The cute and crazy My Keepon that we sell is the one for you!

Looks adorable! Want one!! But, why is it so expensive???
