Antbo takes only an hour to build but can last forever in your heart. The insect robot — which anyone with an "inquisitive mind" can put together — can follow a coded route, "play golf" on that path, and show emotion by trembling when it "feels threatened" or glancing around when it feels "inquisitive." It's the perfect pet for kids with allergies!

The lil dude follows commands through its own visual programming app, WhenDo, but instructions can be coded in through Scratch, or by looking at the open-source Arduino IDE. Antbo is currently on Indiegogo and will ship in November if everything works out.
