Remember Tachikoma robots from Ghost In The Shell? Here they are, USB cable and all!
Bandai, creator of Tamagotchis and all manner of Japanese fun, has cranked out an amazing Artificial Intelligence-holding robot from the Ghost In The Shell series, Tachikoma.
Pluggable to your PC via USB, the metal robot contains various sensors, lights and speakers, and can even act like a Nabaztag rabbit, alerting you when you receive a new email. It allows you to play mini games on your desktop, however sadly, just Japanese desktops as you’ll be needing a Japanese operating system to install the software, apparently.
A perfect reproduction of the roller tankette which featured in the Stand Alone Complex TV series, it’s 133€.
