The Miposaur dino bot

To balance and move on two wheels, like a Segway, the Miposaur uses the same inverted pendulum mechanism based on research from the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab as its predecessor. This feature was so striking in the orginal MiP that one of its games relied solely on its ability to balance while weights were stacked up on its front. The dino, however, is larger, more horizontal than vertical, and for stability can rest back on little plastic heels when not in motion.

Similar to the MiP, the Miposaur responds to 10 predefined hand gestures, such as a user covering its eyes, waving a hand in a circular motion, clapping, or pulling the dino's tail. Three sensors, one for sound and the others in front of and behind the head, control these gestures. Deliberate movement is the key for not getting frustrated controlling the dino in this way, but younger kids may find it hit-and-miss.

The Miposaur also comes with its own toy in the form of a ball to play with. Adding another dimension to the interaction, this independently moving TrackBall has six different modes and features the company's proprietary indoor GPS technology to create a spatial link between dino and its favorite toy.

The many moods of Miposaur

The robot also features changeable moods, including excited, upset, or curious, which are based off the types of interactions given to it through the app or TrackBall – like virtually feeding it. These cues are more obvious when using the app, where the mood is displayed prominently, but the Miposaur will grumble, growl, get excited, and prance a bit, depending on how it's feeling.

However, the short-lived moods don't affect the play much. The dino does interact differently with its ball and gestures depending on its mood, but we found that a user, especially a kid, could change its mood quickly enough before realizing.
