The popular Japanese toy manufacturing company TOMY was founded in 1924 as Tomiyama. It is widely known for its production of electronic toys and games, and in the 1980s, it produced a lineup of robots, one of which was Dingbot, a battery-powered robot that TOMY advertised as a "non-stop, chattering, bump-and-go robot." Perhaps it is a coincidence that Dingbot bears a strong similarity to WALL-E of the popular Pixar animated movie of 2008.
