This talking teddy bear says it uses technology that's like "Siri on steroids" when asked how it is able to converse fluently. Using a special software, this voice-activated toy talks back to humans. Not only does it interact naturally, but Supertoy Teddy also pulls out facts or statistics from its programmed knowledge navigator; it can even tell jokes.
If you've seen the movie 'Ted,' you probably understand where UK-based company Supertoy Robotics got the idea. The quick-witted teddy bear has a robotic mouth that moves for a realistic appearance. Its insides are hooked up to a WiFi-activated computer system. If you've always wished your teddy bear could respond to you as a child, this creation will blow your mind. I think it's safe to say that robotic technology has come so far to fulfill many people's childhood wishes.
This talking bear is currently raising funds on Kickstarter.
