Sample

Bug-Eye

Our robot is called“Bug-Eye”because it looks like a small bunny rabbit with big eyes.We choose this idea because many children can not have pets， but every child can have a small robot in their house. Bug-Eye is small enough that it can even fit in a school bag.And since it does not eat or drink anything it is easy to take care of. Bug-Eye plays and does funny things. For example，if it hears a loud noise it makes a squeal and jumps in the air.Then when you pet it，it snuggles up to you and falls asleep. What makes our robot unique is that—apart from being a toy—it can also keep young children safe.

For example，if anyone tries to hurt their owner，It will bite them.One of its big eyes is a camera which is connected by the internet to a computer.That way the child's parents can see what the child is doing.And with the built-in positioning system, they can also keep track of where their child is. Both children and their parents will love Bug-Eye.Children will love it because it is cuddly and does tricks, and parents will love it because it helps them protect their child.
