Moflin, a palm-sized AI pet, is among the winners of the Smart Toy Awards. Just like a real pet, Moflin's AI has an "emotional model" that allows it to react to the way it's treated. This interactive play experience fosters a connection between the child and the toy, creating a sense of companionship and responsibility.
Smart Teddy, a cuddly companion, can tell stories and impart fun facts, promoting good habits and a love for learning. Parents can curate the toy's library through an app, tailoring the content to their child's interests.
Robot Karbo, on the other hand, empowers kids to program their own robotic friends, teaching them about coding and interaction with the environment.
The Smart Toy Awards, a collaboration between the World Economic Forum and the Dubai Future Foundation, aims to promote toys that are both fun and safe to use. As the smart toy market continues to grow, the need for responsible toy design and development becomes increasingly important.
The Smart Toy Awards serve as a valuable guide for parents and toy manufacturers alike, ensuring that children have access to toys that are both educational and enriching.
