WowWee's latest line of consumer bots is always a highlight of our annual CES-going experience, and 2009's spread didn't disappoint. The company had a slew of new additions to their ever expanding selection of robots, including updates to the always popular Robosapien and the cuddly new Alive Cubs line of animatronic stuffed animals. The latest version of Robosapien is named Joebot (pictured above). Joe can beatbox and dance, if you tap out a rhythm on his head--and, unlike the Tribot before him, Joebot can actually walk. He avoids obstacles with infrared sensors. Spyball spy-cam is a bit like a low-rent version of the Rovio, aimed at younger users. It's remote controlled and wi-fi enabled, and transforms into a ball for maximum speed. Meanwhile, the popular Alive Cubs series has been expanded to include a number of new animals, including a wolf cub and a baby seal. Check out a video of all of the new WowWee bots, after the jump.
