Poo-Chi (or Poochi or Poochie) was a robot dog, created by Tiger Toys after the success of the Furby. It is one of the first generations of robopet toys. Poo-Chi was originally designed by artist Samuel James Lloyd and manufactured by Sega Toys. After becoming a huge hit in Japan they made a deal with Tiger Toys to distribute it in North America.
The Poo-Chi had 5 sensors on its body: Touch, Light, Sound, IR, and the 'bone sensor', which was just a set of magnets. Each sensor made Poo-Chi do something different, and the amount each sensor was used determined what kind of mood Poo-Chi would be in. The IR sensor was used to 'talk' to other Robo-Chi pets, such as other Poo-Chis, Super Poo-Chis, Meow-Chis, Dino-Chis, Chirpy-Chis and Petal-Chis. How ever, they were unable to speak with Furbies. Poo-Chi spoke using pre-recorded sounds such as barks, whines, and growls. These, were not very realistic and often sounded more like 'beeps' than anything.
