Apart from TOPIO 2.0, TOSY will present at the fair some other robots and hi-tech toys, including TOPIO tiny – a miniature 40-cm version of TOPIO 2.0.

There are TOSY TyreROBO, the world’s first tyre-shaped robot, and TOSY BallROBO, a ball-shaped robot as gifts used in the World Cup 2010. Both of these robots can run forwards and backwards, turn left and right, and climb up the slopes in different environments (sand, snow, water and grass).

A hi-tech favorite toy for Vietnamese children, TOSY UFO Returning, the latest boomerang

Attending the largest toy fair in the world, TOSY will also bring dancing Tiny TOPIO, the mini version of TOPIO2.0 and two robots that can run forward and backwards, climb, and move o­n snowy, grassy and sandy terrain. The last o­ne is Tosy UFO Returning, a modern boomerang which can fly forward and return precisely, as well as shines brightly at night.

These products are registered for pattern and brand protection in major markets like the US, Europe, Japan, Vietnam, China, South Korea, and India.

In 2007, the Topio 1.0 robot appeared at the IREX 2007, the world largest exhibition for robots in Tokyo, Japan.

Based o­n Ho Vinh Hoang’s idea of creating a human-shaped robot which can play table tennis, TOPIO was worked out by TOSY Robotics JSC since 2005.
TOPIO 1.0, 1.8m high, is hydraulically powered. It weighs 500 kg and cannot move though having six legs. TOPIO 2.0, 2.1m high, weighs o­nly 60 kg and can walk and dance with two legs.
TOPIO 2.0 is powered by electric motor and has 40 free levels. An industrial robot has 3-6 free levels; Honda’s Asimo 34 levels and Sony’s Qrio 38 o­nes.
According to Nguyen Đinh Can, a programmer for TOPIO, “We had to renew manipulation software modules in order to enable the robot to walk, dance and play table tennis”.
