Topio The Ping Pong Playing Robot

Topio 2.0 will be appearing at the Spielwarenmesse International Toy Fair in Nuremburg, Germany from February 5-10.

Topio weighs 60kg, is 2.1m tall and can play ping pong against us puny humans.  We think this illustration makes Topio look like RoboCop.

One day the manufacturer TOSY Robotics hopes to make Topio play football, martial arts and even swim.

   Why this useless robot. I see no other reason for making this robot than quick attempt to score a prize.
