Launched in 2015, Professor Einstein was a desktop-sized Einstein robot that could teach young people about science. His mouth moves in sync with his voice, and he raises his eyebrows and blinks. He can stick out his plastic tongue, walk, and raise his right arm.
Often when you ask the Professor a question it answers a totally different one. Even when Einstein does understand, his information is very basic – looking it up on Google would be much quicker. Since the recommended age is 13 and up, the robot is competing with much more interesting games, websites, and toys.
The voice isn’t elderly and speaks at a raised volume with no volume control. Sometimes, Einstein seems to be looking at you, but most of the time, he’s just randomly looking around the room. In addition, the Professor’s rechargeable batteries are located in the feet, and the bottoms have to be unscrewed with a screwdriver every time the batteries need to be charged, which is every 3 hours. Surprisingly Einstein’s On switch is in its butt crack!
