There's no new BB-8, BB-9, or R2D2 this year, but Sphero does have something pretty cool releasing this month.

Two companies focused on teaching kids the importance of science, technology, and engineering are coming together, as Sphero acquires LittleBits.

It's doubtful you'll ever get your own Iron Man suit, but if you want an Iron Man to control, you can make that happen.

Sphero's take on the robot has largely been spherical, but for its next droid, it's building something made for folks who like to drive and folks keen to tinker.

If you know someone who has a passion to make and code, and who is getting into STEM -- that is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics -- there are plenty of gift options available to inspire that inventive mind.

We've seen rolling robots and moving robots, but now there's also sand moving robots, as UBTech gets kids building robots that can move dirt.

There isn't a new Star Wars robot this year, but Sphero has something better: a robotic ball that not only helps kids learn to code, but does so with style.

We're not at the point in our lives where robots are doing your housework for you, but with the addition of AI, we're getting closer to a robot you can connect with.

One of the coolest tricks of the Star Wars droids has been rolled out to the latest Star Wars film, and that means you can get comfortable with R2 or a BB-bot.
