This Is A Remote Controlled Toy, That's All
Please don't be fooled by this toy and it's description. There is nothing ( not a thing ) about this toy that is AI. It is simply a RC device, nothing more.
What with the recent attention, and popularity, of AI ( artificial intelligence ) robots, this toy tries to cash in on the craze.
