Recently, children's toys can amaze even the most creative people. Drones, robots and other toys on the radio are no longer something special in children's perception, but progress does not stand still.
Along with technological progress, entertainment gadgets for young users are also improving. Below we will talk about one of the most popular toys of the last two years.
Think about how often your child asked you to get a pet. Now you can not upset your child with a refusal, but make him an advantageous offer that can interest even a determined child. Back in 2014, Spin Master developed and produced, if not an alternative, then a temporary replacement for the dog.
The Robot Dog "Buzzer" is a high-tech toy made in the image of a dog and performing certain programs. Both boys and girls can play with a robot with pleasure.
"Buzzer" - a dog, designed for use by children from five years. Of course, this robot dog is not the most advanced development, but it will be able to please any child and will be an excellent prerequisite for meeting other, newer robots.
The acquisition of such a toy is especially important for families who for some reason can not or do not want to have a real pet. The Buzzer dog will become a true friend to your child and will delight him and you with his tricks.
Principle of operation
The interactive dog "Buzzer" has several sensors built into the chest, with the help of which it possesses the ability to recognize movements in its surrounding space. Thanks to sensors, the robot can distinguish surrounding objects and react to them, “feel” someone’s touch and execute commands.
The language recognition program is valid for French, Spanish, English and Russian. Commands for action can be given in any of these languages.
The Buzzer dog is designed to repeat the movements of a real dog. Although, of course, certain differences still exist. On the legs of the robot are special wheels that allow it to significantly exceed the speed of movement of a real animal.
This, by the way, is one of the most significant advantages of the Spin Master company robot over other similar products on the market. In particular, the famous Aibo robot has conventional paws, which is why it moves rather slowly. That this dog was running was out of the question.
Dog "Buzzer" was created taking into account the proportions of a real puppy. The length of the toy is 23 centimeters, and the height is only 18 centimeters.
How to get?
You can order an interactive toy both on the Internet and in specialized stores. Recently, the company suspended the production of robots, but cheaper analogues appeared on the market.
For example, the average cost of a Zummer dog is about 6,000 rubles, while a similar toy from other companies will cost you almost three times cheaper, only 2,000 rubles.
For many, the original tech toy may seem a little expensive. It is worth noting that it also requires careful handling, as mechanical damage can disable the dog. Most likely, there may be problems with the robot repair, since there are not so many service centers specializing in this.
So before buying, it is advisable to consider this feature.
Feature
The dog "Buzzer" is not in vain called an interactive toy. Reviews say that the owner will have to sweat a bit and make an effort to teach the pet to perform new commands and not forget the old ones.
The battery can be easily charged from a computer or from an outlet using the USB cable that comes with the robot dog. So the inconvenience of constantly replacing the batteries can be avoided.
Sensor Location
All elements of perception are in the toy in the area of the front of the body.
- Motion sensors are located on the chest.
- Speech recognition sensors and a charging port are on the tummy.
- Power, the battery is also located on the stomach.
Most of the robot is covered with a special rubberized coating that protects important elements and keeps the dog's attractive appearance longer.
Negative sides
As with any technical toy, the dog "Buzzer", judging by the reviews, there are a number of features of functioning, which should be solved in future versions.
- Operating time is only 30 minutes. Of course, this is not enough to play enough with your pet.
- There is no quick learning mode. The owner will have to spend some time training the dog.
- To bring the robot into operation, you need to click on its head. Only after this, the eyes light up with a question mark and the dog is ready to execute commands.
- The toy does not see the edge. Therefore, you can not leave it alone on a hill, otherwise it may fall and break.
- Buzzer knows few commands and tricks. It would be possible to significantly expand the circle of her skills.
Safety regulations
At first, until the child catches all the nuances of communication with the robot toy, the presence of adults during the game is desirable.
First of all, it is necessary to protect the robot from moisture. The child must understand that the power source of his pet is electric energy, which means that the circuit does not happen and the Buzzer does not fail, it is forbidden to give him water and give real food.
Interactive dogs are not intended to land from a large, and generally any height. Their paws with wheels are simply not designed for this. Therefore, it is not recommended to play on the table, on the porch or near the stairs.
Varieties
The manufacturer produces puppies whose appearance is similar to dogs of the following breeds: shepherd, dalmatian and hound.
Dogs are distinguished by the benevolence, cheerful character and activity inherent in all puppies. Judging by the reviews, the Dalmatians especially like the children, because it has the appropriate color and looks very attractive.
Toy "Buzzer" (dog) can be a wonderful gift for your child and be his faithful friend.
