Published on October 23, 2019, smart toys have become a staple in toy stores, offering a range of classic board games and stuffed animals alongside internet-connected devices, smart racing cars, and drones.
One such toy is the Mi Robot Builder, a building and coding robotic toy that allows kids to develop their own codes and build different models using creative thinking.
The Mi Robot Builder comes with 978 bricks made from a mechanical transmission structure to ensure effective movement and action. It can be remotely controlled by the Mi Robot Builder app via Bluetooth, allowing kids to command the robot in three different control settings: joystick, gyroscope, and route control.
The robot also features a high-power motor, built-in photoelectric encoder, and four USB type-C ports, providing power to the robot and supporting scalable components up to 3 kg in weight.
According to UK-based analyst firm Juniper Research, annual smart toy sales across the globe are expected to grow to $11.3 billion by 2020.
