With long, antenna-like ears, a minimalistic face and myriad colors glowing on its belly, the France-launched Karotz robot is cute, little and packs an engaging toolset. The Karotz Smart Rabbit can be programmed to serve as an alarm clock, an MP3 player, a social media tool and a host of other features, along with an opportunity for original coding.
