Meet Roboboa. He doesn't look that pretty, more like a vacuum cleaner pipe than anything, but he does do some rather nifty things. Part A.I. robot, part alarm clock, part reading light, he might just be the most useful bedside gadget I've yet seen.
"Ever wanted a combination of a robot, alarm clock, desktop reading light and pet snake in one? Well look no further! Mark Tilden and WowWee Robotics have made just that and they have named it RoboBoa. Combining advanced A.I. animation with lights, motion and sound the RoboBoa is a smart desk light, wake-up alarm, room alarm, disco marquee, roving tank, safety light, playful cannon and friendly “alien” personality. With 41 functions in the remote you can quickly choose and change between a large selection of modes." Sounds pretty all inclusive, if only they'd made him look a little bit more friendly! You'll get all that for around $220 from gadgets.dk.
