This is video of the Wowwee Roboquad being sent voice commands via Skype and a little program called Robodance.

What is the Roboquad? It’s a highly articulated robotic toy with more bells and whistle than you can shake a Battle Bot at. Even without the Robodance upgrade, the Roboquad is packed with a body full of sensors, a remote control and a catalog of autonomous personality types including the possibly ill-advised “Highly Aggressive,” which is sure to provide hours of fun for household pets.

More importantly, the Roboquad is on sale from Woot for $50. So, if you always wanted your very own artificially intelligent serf, or just would like a platform to play around with robotics, fire up your interwebs browser and take a look.
