The Top 7 Robots Your Kids Will Love on Christmas Morning!

1. Teksta Robotic Puppy

Buy Teksta from Amazon now!

The Teksta Robotic Puppy is already very popular this year. Why? Because this dog is fun. He can do a backflip! He has multi-colored expressive eyes. He can respond to your hand gestures, voice commands, and to light and darkness. When it’s dark, he will curl up beside you on your bed, or guard your bedroom all night. He has about twenty facial expressions. You can also program him from a tablet or iPad. For instance, you can create a dance routine to the song of your choice, program him and he will dance it. Great little companion robot.

2. Attacknids Robot

If you’re looking for more of a combat robot, this is what you want to get. The Attacknids are like giant spiders with six legs, and several different ways of shooting things. They can navigate over rough terrain and have a battle with other robots or each other. Or you can use them to knock down a Lego tower, dominoes or other stuff. Plus they look really cool. These are controlled by an easy-to-use remote control. Great for shooting stuff. Has ‘attack’ in the name for a reason!

3. RoboMe Robot on Wheels

RoboMe is a cute little robot with two arms, that moves around on a wheeled base. You put an iPod or smartphone on him for his head. You can program this little guy to do lots of things. He will ‘learn’ new things as you use him and interact with him. He has a fun and funny personality. Put him in ‘roam mode,’ and he will explore his environment and talk as he moves around.

4. Sphero the Robotic Ball

Sphero is a great new robot toy ball you control with your smart phone. It’s about the size of a billiard ball, and you can make it roll fast or slow, left or right by tilting your smart phone. It has about 20 games and apps you can download. You can race it or do an obstacle course. It can even roll through water. It can also be used as a controller for video games and some other ways. A shout out to ArtificialBrain.net for helping me discover this one! It’s gonna be big this Christmas.

5. BattroBorg Battling Robots

BattroBorg is another exciting robotic fighting game. Two motion-controlled robots slug it out in a ring, controlled by you using a Wii-like device. You win by hits to the face or a knock-down. You can battle against ‘targets’ for practice or against an automatic opponent, a drone. You have to move your hands to make the robots move and swing. People really get into this.

6. Robosapien Humanoid Robot

This guy can walk, which most of the others can’t. With your remote control, you can make your Robosapien Robot walk, turn, back up, talk, and swing a fist. He is 14″ tall and is pretty flexible and fast. Pretty tough, too; it would take a lot to break him. He knows kung fu moves, and can pick up and hold things in his ‘paddle’ grippers. He comes with 67 programmed responses, and can learn more. Since he’s remotely controlled, he’s not really, technically a robot, but he is very cool and most boys would love to have one!

7. Zoomer the Robotic Dog

Zoomer Robotic Dog

Zoomer the Robotic Dog is another good option for a pet companion. Zoomer wags his tail, can roll over, play dead, and learn to respond to other commands. Voice commands include “sit,” “come here,” and “go pee.” He will go and lift up one back leg. He has very expressive LED eyes, and makes lots of interesting sounds. Can play ball, too. Plus, he’s very fast and move around easily on his rolling ‘balled’ paws.
