This is the TOMY KI-KU-ZO (model 5401), the Japanese version of the robot also sold internationally as Verbot. It means that you can’t find a robot manufactured for Japanese market in Europe easily. It has programmable voice commands and eight functions including: Forward Reverse Turn left Turn right Stop Arms up Arms down Smile / eyes & mouth illumination The robot's voice-command system allows the user to assign their own words to the functions. The Tomy KI・KU・ZO is an early-1980s Japanese electronic voice-recognition robot.
