To follow on from yesterday’s robo rock band The Trons, toymakers Hasbro and Sega unveiled their Automated Music Personality (AMP) robot which dances around and bobs its head while playing your music through built-in speakers.

The AMP-bot gets around on a wheeled platform that looks much like a unicycle which it controls with remarkable competence.

There are a pair of tweeters in its shoulders and a 5-inch mid-range speaker in its chest, providing a total output of 12 watts.

It requires only 6x D batteries plus 3x AAA batteries for the controller which will give you around 10 hours of playback and robo-dancing.

Apparently the price for this dancing bot will be as little as $500 in the U.S. and Japan.
