Now you can have your own droid to explore the planet with. Inspired by the heroic droids from Star Wars™, BB-8 is ready for an adventure. It's designed with an adaptive personality to let you create a close bond as it recognises your voice.

BB-8 has a unique attitude and alters its actions depending on its discoveries and how you interact with it. For example, it'll perk up when you give it voice commands and frequently interact with it.

Operate BB-8 with smartphone or tablet
Download the app from iTunes or Google Play onto your smartphone or tablet to let you communicate and operate the BB-8. You can opt to turn your screen into a remote control to drive BB-8 around your house or design routes for your little friend to follow. The BB-8 can move at up to 4.5 mph

Listen and respond
Use the speakers and mic in your smartphone or tablet to listen and speak to BB-8 to create an even more magical experience, which will in turn help to build a stronger relationship as it'll recognise your voice.

Reacts when watching The Force Awakens
If you watch the Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens DVD/Blu-Ray (sold separately) with your BB-8, it will pick up the audio and react. He'll give all sorts of commentary, beep with excitement when he's on-screen and even shy away in fear when Kylo Ren comes on-screen. All you do is download the latest app update (Android/iOS), make the BB-8 face the screen and enjoy your little buddy's reactions.

Holographic communication
This functionality allows you to record, send and view holographic videos with your BB-8 to send message to family members residing in other parts of the house.

Compatible with: iOS and Android devices
