User:Figure.10/Tekno (robot)

Tekno is a robot dog created by Toy Quest and WowWee and launched May 8, 2000.

Features
Tekno has fewer functions than other robot dogs, such as the i-Cybie or the Robopet Tekno can speak several words in English including: "Tekno", "whoops", "excuse me" and 'thanks". Tekno makes snoring noises at night, though the lack of a full range of motion means that Tekno cannot lie down or sit. He can be programmed to be an alarm clock. Tekno has touch sensors are used to launch behaviours and 'train' him. Sensors are located on his head, neck, nose and one side.

Technology
Tekno is powered by two motors; one for his body movements and the other for his sensors and microprocessor.

Models
After the release of the puppy model, there were more animals released using the same basic design and capabilities.


 * Tekno The Robotic Newborn
 * Tekno The Robotic Kitty

Each model came in different colours and patterns as well
