Toys at a glance

These are a selection of toys from among a wide spectrum available on the market, varying by target age range and functionality. In particular, the toys we selected span multiple target ages, from Hello Barbie and Smart Toy Monkey, geared towards younger audiences, to what are generally thought of as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) toys aimed at children 8+, such as Sphero BB-8, Anki Cozmo, and Ozobot Bit. Toy functionality encompasses AI capability, such as voice and image recognition; sensors, like mic and camera; mobility; and wireless communication, like WiFi and Bluetooth.
