Cye Personal Robot

This multi talented robot can be easily programmed to do a number of chores around the house. We show him vacuuming, but Cye has a bevy of optional attachments including a spy camera. Whereas an industrial robot is designed to perform a task or a job in manufacturing, this wheeled robot is designed to work and perform tasks for its user.
Because Cye is controlled through a simple graphic user interface on any PC, its accessible to a whole range of users: people who enjoy the fun offered by remote control devices; the technologically curious with very basic point-and-click PC skills; people searching for inexpensive, cyber age solutions for home or office tasks; hobbyists and developers who can create their own software or hardware accessories.

Cye is about 16 inches wide, 10 inches deep and 5 inches tall, and weighs about 9lbs. Programming is easy -- you control Cye by using the simple point-and-click commands found in its included Map-N-Zap software. Likewise, all it takes to move Cye about the floor is dragging the on-screen icon along the desired path with your mouse. Cye sells for under $1,000. www.probotics.com
