We’ve covered Tovbot’s Shimi from inception to launch at TechCrunch Disrupt and this week we got a closer look at the little dancing robot that could at our CES stage.

Shimi is an intelligent phone dock that uses cloud processing that will dance along with your music and even find music that you might like based on your preferences. You can also clap a beat to get Shimi to play a similar song.

In short, it’s pretty cool.

Tovbot just announced an iPhone version and they will ship their product later this year.
