What Features to Compare
Design
You will be surprised at how many different kinds of robots you can find in a store. The most popular types are robots-aliens, remote control toy pets, and dinosaurs. Robots-aliens usually have a modern appearance. For example, they can be guests from the other planets or characters from the popular fantastic movies. Robots like these can let your kid interact with them and develop their imagination. Animal models will be the best option for kids who'd like to have a pet. The range is quite wide: dogs, cats, birds, horses, etc. Actually, any animal! This kind of toy robot can teach your kid how to interact with animals. But if your kid wants to become a palaeontologist or he/she has much interest in ancient creatures, you need to buy a dinosaur model and let your child feel what it's like to be a time traveller! Note that all robot toys are usually made of quality, durable plastic that is absolutely safe for kids.
Control
Robots are controlled by a remote controller (wireless or not), gestures, smartphones or tablets. Toys that respond to gestures and touch will be very interesting for very little children aged between 2 to 7 years old, since they contribute to the development of tactile and visual perception. A voice control will allow them to develop communication skills while making interaction with a toy simpler. Smartphone- or tablet-controlled toys are best suited for elder children who can use such gadgets, and for their parents too. Consider what type of battery provides energy supply. It would be profitable to have a toy run on a rechargeable battery so you don't need to constantly spend money on disposable batteries that run flat pretty quick.
Functionality
Have you ever seen movies with robots that could work without a direct human interaction? If you think that it is all sci-fi, you are wrong. Now everything is possible due to the presence of different sensors. Robots can feel where you go, learn new things, etc. Different extras, like sound and light effects, will make the game even more fascinating! Don't forget to consider robot's size and weight: it should not be too small so that your kid can notice it and should not be too big so your little one can carry it.
With this kind of toys your kid will surely be happy and interested in scientific progress, so, go ahead and choose the best one!
