Ruko's New R1 Mini Robot Dog Flips, Self-Rights and Tells Bedtime Stories
Hong Kong – September 29, 2026 -- Ruko has launched the R1 Mini Robot Dog, a toy for children ages 3 and up that righting itself, performs four-way flips, and includes a bedtime storytelling mode.
The robot dog automatically rights itself after tumbles
The R1 uses a self-righting mechanism that returns it to its feet whenever it tips over or lands upside down, removing the need for a child to reposition it manually.
It performs over 10 routines including flips, dancing and push-ups
Beyond forward, backward, left, and right flips, the toy runs more than 10 programmed routines such as dancing, push-ups, and swimming. A built-in programming mode lets children sequence their favorite moves into custom combinations, introducing basic sequencing logic tied to early STEM concepts.
