Toy Fair ’18 Highlight: UBTECH’s First Order Stormtrooper Robot

Posted on by

While I was at Toy Fair last month, I checked out a fun new robot from UBTECH: the Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper. Fitted with a companion app for controlling the robot, this robot has a lot of great interactive play. Let’s check it out.

Features of the First Order Stormtrooper robot include:

Facial Recognition: Customize interactions by storing up to three faces using facial biometrics.

Voice Commands: Issue orders by speaking directly to your First Order Stormtrooper Robot.

Augmented Reality: Protect the First Order with a fully immersive app experience with both first and third-person views.

Mission Mode: Command your First Order Stormtrooper Robot to carry out pre-selected missions or build your own in the companion app. Use the included blaster in mission mode to achieve success.

Sentry Mode: Order your First Order Stormtrooper Robot to patrol a designated area of your home.

Camera Function: Inspect and protect the region with first-person views through the built-in camera on the First Order Stormtrooper Robot’s helmet.

Accelerometer & Gyroscope: Built-in accelerometer & gyroscope to ensure that your First Order Stormtrooper Robot is always ready to implement orders in any direction.

Infrared Sensor: The infrared sensor allows your First Order Stormtrooper Robot to navigate steep drops while patroling the area.

Triple Array Microphone: Command your First Order Stormtrooper Robot from any direction with three microphone arrays for maximum implementation of its direct order.

In my little demo with the robot, I got to see first hand the camera function, sentry mode, the mission mode with augmented reality, and more. The movement of the robot was very smooth, and the camera quality was pretty clear.

At a retail price of $299.99, this might be expensive for a lot of us, but you robotics geeks would probably really get a kick out what you can do with this robot. Also, this would be a great birthday/holiday gift for any Star Wars fan.

For mroe information, or to place your order, you can visit the UBTECH website.
