Hasbro’s Tiger Electronic and Sega Toys have announced the release of their Automated Music Personality dancing robot music speakers. Known by its acronym of A.M.P, the 2.5 foot, 15 LB bot runs upright on Segway-like wheels to follow the user around the house, and has optional remote control. The robot also comes with a small backpack that stores an MP3 player which can connect to the bot via a jack.

Pre-sale for the ugly-looking A.M.P. is scheduled for August, with full retail availability following in October. The ‘bot is expected to cost between $400 and $500.

Its Segway-esque legs dance to the beat of any MP3 player via 3.5mm jack, and its 49 LEDs stay shining like some kind of cybernetic Rhinestone Cowboy. The A.M.P. has touch-sensitive DJ scratching pads and 62 sound effects built in so you can spice up your songs with a little "wiki-wiki", and an IR sensor so he will follow you (and his remote) from room to room and keep the music playing in your direction.
