PLEN is being given some autonomy at Kyutech’s Wagatsuma Lab.

Control the super cute (and super expensive) desktop hobby robot PLEN using apps for your iPhone or Android.

Plen, the Desktop Hobby Robot, was manufactured by defunct Osaka-based manufacturer Systec Akazawa. Priced at $2600, it was one of the smallest and most expensive robot kits on the market, but was popular for it’s ability to roller skate.
