Finally, non-threatening-looking robot toys that’s safe for everyone in the family. Ultimate WALL-E and iDance are inspired by WALL-E, animated movie by Disney that will hit theaters this summer. Okay, it may not be as advanced as i-Robot, but at least you got something that can be enjoyed by the whole family - and maybe some neighbors and your office colleagues.

The iDance is basically a dancing boombox that can “sing” and “dance”, maybe similar to Sony Rolly. However the cream of the crop is the Ultimate WALL-E. This sophisticated toy features 10 motors to provide advanced movement and animation. You can program it using a remote that’s very easy to use, even by a kid. In addition, it has follow-me and voice activated mode. Ultimate WALL-E is also equipped with emotion states and sensors to allow him to detect people and navigate around obstacles. You can bring it home for $189.99 later this fall.

If you don’t like the Martian robot explorer idea, you can pick up flying TInker Bell toy later. In the mean time, I’ll find a new “planet” that needs exploring.
