Abstract

A motorized toy has articulated joints allowing movement of the doll'"'"'s appendages. The movement of the doll is caused by motors within the doll. A child wears controllers sending signals to the motors within the doll, enabling the doll to mimic the movements of the user.

Claims

1. A toy comprising

a body having at least one appendage

at least one motor within the body to cause movement of the at least one appendage,

at least one actuator controlling the at least one motor,

at least one controller sensing its movement through three dimensional space, the at least one controller sending a signal to the at least one actuator,

the at least one actuator causing the at least one motor to move the at least one appendage in a manner to mimic the movement of the at least one controller.

2. The toy of claim 1, wherein the at least one controller sends the signal wirelessly.

3. A doll comprising

a body, a head, a pair of legs and a pair of arms,

motors moving the pair of legs and pair of arm independently on one another,

actuators controlling the motors,

controllers sensing their movement through three dimensional space, the controllers sending a signal to actuators,

the actuators causing the motors to move the arms and legs in a manner to mimic the movement of the controllers.

4. The doll of claims 3, further comprising

a motor controlling the motion of the body,

an actuator controlling the body motor,

a controller sending a signal to the actuator for the body motor.

5. The doll of claim 3, further comprising

a motor controlling the motion of the head

an actuator controlling the head motor,

a controller sending a signal to the actuator for the head motor.

6. The toy of claim 3, wherein the controller sends the signal wirelessly.
