At this point in our technological history, robots that help us with our homework are a bit like old news. After all, we have Alexa now. She does everything. And we are thankful. Anyway, if you want something with a bit more personality check out Professor Einstein.

This robot is designed to look like Albert Einstein, famous for being one of the greatest minds of the 20th century and also having a mane of white and wild hair. This particular robot plays games and helps kids learn their science lessons. Which is what I imagined Einstein would actually do if he found himself in charge of children.

He interacts with Android and Apple devices as well as speech. Although he’s fashioned for science, he’s also able to talk about whatever you would like but unlike Alexa, he can’t order you anything. He reminds me a little bit of the Puppet Master puppets so I’m a little creeped out but maybe he’s your cup of tea! You can get your own for £176.88.
