The 2nd time participating in the world's largest consumer electronics exhibition--CES 2013 in Las Vegas, USA, Vietnam’s TOSY Robot joint-stock company demonstrated two main products that will be released in 2013: mRobo and DiscoRobo.

At its 400m2 booth, TOSY Robot introduced excellent performances of the two robots, especially mRobo. Thanks to the significant improvement in appearance and operation, mRobo really caused viewers on the ability to jump and move extremely flexible.

If at CES 2012, mRobo became famous when it was introduced by pop star Justin Bieber, this year, the mRobo became a real star when each performance attracted hundreds of visitors. Everyone held cameras to record the performance of this robot. Many guests also did not hesitate dancing at the TOSY booth in the music of famous songs like Gangnam Style and Sexy and I know it.

Stephen Morrow, vice president of Hyperlync Technologies, said: "I've never seen any robot that can dance more impressively than mRobo. I visited TOSY booth no less than 3 times to watch the show but I’m still not bored of it. Fun! I firmly believe that when the robot was debut to the market, mRobo will be sold very well run and become the hot product of the year.”

mRobo is beautifully designed and a lot more modern than the previous version. The robot's motion control technology has made remarkable progress over the last year version. The robot could dance like a real dancer. Derek Hough, dancer/choreographer who was the 3-time winner of the television show Dancing with the Stars U.S. choreographed the performances of mRobo at CES 2013.

mRobo sound quality is also a big improvement and has been ranked top in the world for mobile speakers. TOSY used a special technology to increase the bass. This is extremely important when playing lively dance music to create powerful inspiration for people.

One of the most special techniques of the mRobo is the arm. With 6 degrees of motion, the mRobo arm can perform the movements flexibly like humans. However, the retail price of the product is extremely reasonable ($199) compared to most modern robots at present, such as Qrio of Sony ($68,000) or Nao Robot ($20,000) which have only 5 degrees of motion in the arm. The speed of hand movement of the mRobo can be regarded as the fastest of all the humanoid robots now.

Andrea Yee, director of store chain Macy's, said: "TOSY really makes me surprise for its improvement in speed and quality of the product mRobo at CES this time. Many of my clients have asked me to see mRobo show and sell this product in the near future at all Macy's stores across the United States."
American Inquisitr Journal has an article rating mRobo the top 10 of the most prominent technology trends at CES 2013 with the witty comment: "Our reporter had to fight fiercely to report about mRobo and see mRobo’s demonstration in TOSY booth at CES this year."
