5 Robotic Gadgets Your Kids Will Love

The world of robotics continues to grow on a daily basis, from design to ingenuity, there are new robots with vast abilities popping up everywhere. As computing power rapidly increases while the price for performance decreases, unique robots with advanced capabilities are quickly becoming a fad. We aren’t quite at a tipping point where robots do everything for us yet, like take out the trash or deliver a wedding limo service Greensboro NC right to your front door. Children are true power users of toy robots, so this article will discuss some of the hottest toy robots on the market for kids today.

Chip The Robotic Dog 

Chip - The Robotic Dog

Chip is an interactive pet your kids will love. He comes with a smart ball to play fetch with and a smart band you wear on your wrist so he can recognize who is owner is and follow commands. Chip can follow your instructions but he is also capable of learning new things.

There is a mobile app that translates what Chip is thinking, so users can interact with him on a deeper level. The app also tracks his learning progress, so the smarter he gets the more badges he earns, similar to levelling up in a video game.

Chip has sensors so he can maneuver around obstacles with ease. He can even sense when his battery is getting low and he will return to his charging station automatically. Robotic pets are becoming the norm and will continue to gain popularity, especially with children.

Kamigami Robots
