The conceptual 'Eggo' smart robot toy has been designed by Hyunjae Tak as a different kind of robot toy that will offer children and adults alike with a playful, interactive experience.
The toy features an egg-shaped construction that maintains a minimal interface and is capable of making its way around a space on its own thanks to built-in wheels. The device will offer a playful pet-like experience for young children to teach them the basics of caring for an animal, while also being great for the elderly to help them enjoy the social benefits of a pet without the care needs.
The conceptual 'Eggo' smart robot toy can be used both online and offline, and will automatically return to its dock for charging when the battery runs low.
