Keecker
The smartphone-controlled device—which was the most pricey gadget ever launched on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter—is the brainchild of a former Google employee. What Keecker lacks in personality, it makes up for in practicality: The robot can project video, play music, make calls and create “digital decorations” for the home. It will even follow its owner from room to room with the press of a button. ($4,000-$5,000)
Jibo
Despite its 11-inch stature, the MIT-born bot has lofty goals: Jibo aspires to be “the world’s first family robot.” And that might just happen. Jibo’s creators promise it will become an invaluable addition to the home, playing the role of family photographer, personal assistant, bedtime-story reader and more. ($599)
