| What it does · Different values | Mini is a small programmable ball for tabletop driving, obstacle games and a first step into coding. Learners can steer it in an app or create movement sequences with Sphero Edu, using the included cones and pins for simple activities. | Eilik is a small desktop companion that reacts to touch with animated expressions and playful movements. Several Eilik robots can interact with one another, making it a local expressive toy rather than a mobile household robot. | Eilik-DQ is an explorer-themed desktop companion with special animations, accessories and a shooting mini-game. It retains touch reactions and interaction with other Eilik robots while offering a distinct themed edition of the base companion. | Loona is a wheeled companion robot with an expressive screen, voice localisation and app-linked games.
