r2d2Want to experience living with a robot? This mechanical replica of R2-D2 droid from the Star Wars movies responds to more than 40 voice commands and navigates rooms and hallways.

R2’s lights, swiveling dome top, and distinctive happy and sad sounds faithfully mimic the real thing, right down to his occasional “bad mood.” But a simple command of, “R2, behave yourself!” shatter him out of it.

R2 can also replay sounds and dialog from Star Wars. movies, answer yes-or-no questions, and dance while playing the famed cantina music. R2 requires four AA batteries and four D batteries.
