A robot includes an umbrella portion capable of performing a rotational movement and an opening/closing movement of an umbrella; and a processor. The processor acquires emotion data representing a pseudo emotion in accordance with an external stimulus, and controls, based on the emotion data, at least one of the rotational movement or the opening/closing movement of the umbrella of the umbrella portion.

A multiple component transition toy assembly for easing a child user's transition between various locations includes a portable component formed from a plush, stuffed body having an attachment member and a destination component formed from a rigid body having a retaining member. The portable component can be selectively coupled with the destination component because the attachment member is operative to form a releasable attachment with the retaining member. The portable component may be weighted to provide a grounding feeling to a child user. The transition toy assembly may include a wirelessly actuated sensory output device which causes the destination component to acknowledge the presence of the portable component through a sensory output.

In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided and includes a housing and an inner object inside the housing. The inner object includes a breakout mechanism that includes a hammer and an actuation lever. The hammer is movable between a retracted position in which the hammer is spaced from the housing and an advanced position in which the hammer is positioned to break the housing. The actuation lever is pivotable from a hammer retraction position towards a hammer driving position so as to drive the hammer towards the advanced position.

A projection device for projecting images on a surface of the device includes an outer housing having a front translucent screen, a projection module frame mounted on an inner surface of the outer housing, and a projection roller frame supported by the projection module frame. The projection roller frame includes first and second spaced apart rollers rotatable respectively on two opposite cylindrical ends integrally formed on a lampshade. A cylindrical projection film is held between the first and second rollers. A light source is mounted inside the lampshade so that an image formed on the projection film can be projected on the front translucent screen by the light source. The device further includes a gear mechanism for driving the rollers, a position-limiting mechanism, and a speaker.

A heated stuffed animal assembly for warming a user that is holding a stuffed animal includes a stuffed animal that has a body, a pair of arms, a pair of legs, a head and pair of ears. A heating element is integrated into the stuffed animal and the heating element is in thermal communication with the stuffed animal. Moreover, the heating element heats the stuffed animal to warm the user when the user holds the stuffed animal. The heating element comprises a plurality of heating coils that are distributed over the body, each of the arms and each of the legs. A control is coupled to the stuffed animal such that the control is accessible to the user. The control is electrically coupled to the heating element for turning the heating element on and off.

An automatic bubble blowing apparatus wearable on the head and having an inflatable ornamental skin. The inflatable ornamental skin is a non-tooled component which can be manufactured to have a variety of festive appearances. The apparatus has straps which can be used to secure the apparatus to the head of a user. Alternatively, the automatic bubble blowing apparatus can be utilized on a horizontal surface, such as a table, with the straps hidden under the apparatus. The automatic bubble blowing apparatus includes a power source, a surfactant solution reservoir, a fan for creating an air stream out an exit aperture, a mechanism for creating a surfactant film across the exit aperture, and an on-off switch which controls both power to the fan and sealing and unsealing of the exit aperture.

A light projection apparatus in the shape of a toy animal includes components that promote a twinkling effect on a display of light through an outer shell. The outer shell includes apertures that together form a pattern in the appearance of a constellation on a surface when light is projected outwardly from inside the apparatus. Light-emitting members are spread apart internally on a surface within the apparatus, and each member has a perforated cover positioned above it to partially block light emitted therefrom. Each cover has either a different pattern and/or a different orientation relative to the light-emitting member it covers, and each member is also configured to slowly brighten and dim, the combination of which creates the twinkling effect when light is projected out through the apertures. Each member's brightening and dimming function may be at predetermined intervals independent of other members, and may also be of a different color, to increase the effect.

A light emitting device with a dimming visible light communication function and an interaction device applying for visible light are provided. The light emitting device with the dimming visible light communication function comprises a luminance adjusting unit, a control circuit and a light emitting device. The luminance adjusting unit outputs a luminance adjusting signal according to luminance adjusted by a user. The control circuit coupled to the luminance adjusting unit outputs a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal according to the luminance adjusting signal. The light emitting device outputs visible light, receives the PWM signal, and is turned on or off according to states of a logic high voltage and a logic low voltage of the PWM signal. In an idle mode, the PWM signal operates at a first frequency. In a light communication mode, an operating frequency of the PWM signal is changed according to transmitted data.

Embodiments described provide an integrated hand-held catch net apparatus including a multi-axis sensor in electrical communication with a microcontroller and memory module to provide a plurality of colored light schemes and pre-programmed sounds/songs in responds to movement and tilting of the apparatus. Further included is a light toy figurine releasably attached to the catch net assembly to simulate capture both a fish or insect.

A decorative light can include: a housing defining an interior space and having an open front; a cover mounted to the open front of the housing, the cover including a beam-splitter light lens shade and a substantially planar lens portion disposed around the beam-splitter light lens shade; a motor located in the interior space of the housing, the motor including an output shaft; a first light module located in the interior space and including first light units disposed about the output shaft of the motor, where the output shaft is rotatable with respect to the first light units; a second light module located in the interior space and including second light units disposed about the output shaft of the motor, wherein the output shaft is rotatable with respect to the second light units; and a rotating lens module connected to the output shaft of the motor for rotation.
