Abstract

In this chapter, we present some of the categories of robots that the market is presently offering to play with, and what it is possible to do with commercial robotic toys, including the toys that are not presented as robots, but actually comply with the definitions given in Chap. 4. Millions of robotic toys reach our homes every year. The framework defined in Chap. 4 drives the analysis of categories of robotic toys, their features, and their possible limitations to be used for inclusive play.
