It's described as an 'entertainment robot' but further details have not been released. Bieber has had Bieber dolls that sing marketed but there's no suggestion the robot will be in his likeness.
TOSY is a Vietnamese company, one that, simply puts, makes robots; TOSY is known for creating 'Topio,' a robot that can play ping-pong with humans. TOSY has been on market for a decade and it's the first time that Justin Bieber has worked with them.
