Robot Toys


© The LEGO GroupIt's always fun to see where robotics show up, and one of the most common places where I see the makings of robots are in toys. In this years CES Lego announced another robot toy in their MINDSTORMS™ series:

Building upon the success of the globally-renowned Robotics Invention System, the next generation of LEGO MINDSTORMS makes it quicker and easier for robot creators to build and program a working robot in just 30 minutes.

Although this is clearly a "grown-up" toy it won't be long before kids not only regularly play with such smart toys — But start expecting them everywhere to do everything. Wired has some details behind the toy. And LEGO sponsored NXT blog promises to keep filling us in the continued growth of this particular robot toy.
