i-Cybie is a robotic pet that resembles a dog. It was manufactured by Silverlit Electronics. The i-Cybie robot responds to sound, touch, voice commands via remote control. Although i-Cybie does possess a limited amount of artificial intelligence, programming is not easily modifiable by the end-user, and it is not capable of autonomous learning. The i-Cybie was one of the first robot pets on the market that could power itself via its Walk-Up-Charger.
Sensors
* Motion sensors allow i-Cybie to detect movement around it.
* Obstacle sensors are used to navigate as it walks and to avoid bumping into objects.
* An i-Cybie robot can interact with other i-Cybie robots using a built-in IR communicator.
* Sensors on its help the i-Cybie react to touch.
* Sound sensors allow i-Cybie respond to voice commands to clap commands. Voice commands require training. Clap commands which do not require training.
* Edge detectors help prevent falls, but there have been reports that this feature is not necessarily reliable & was never an advertised feature.
* Tilt sensors allow it to detect when it has fallen down.
* Light sensors let him detect changes in ambient light in your room.

[edit] Voice Commands
The i-Cybie can be trained to respond to voice. ng mode and in sequence, pressing each tricks command on the remote control and speaking that command. There are 8 different voice commands.
