http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/10/romoromoartthoujt.jpg Last time we saw Romo, it was a fledgling Kickstarter that we gave the Insert Coin treatment to, which then went on to achieve its funding. Now, the team behind it are back with a new updated version. The latest iteration boasts an all new circuit board, plus updated software and hardware – along with the promise of an API for developers. If that sounds cool, that’s because it is, but there are even loftier plans afoot if they secure a second round of funding. Remote 2-way telepresence, Roomba-esque navigation learning skills, facial recognition and Computer vision to name a few. So if you’re an iOS-owning (no Android at this time) robot fan, you’d better scoot on over to the source and be lured in by its cutsie little grin (again).
