Eilik
Our Verdict: The best budget companion robot. Multi-robot interaction is a unique and delightful feature.
Eilik is a charming desktop companion that stands out with its ability to interact with other Eilik robots. Place two Eiliks near each other and they’ll play together, argue, make up, and develop a shared dynamic, something unique in the companion robot market.
On its own, Eilik responds to touch, pokes, shaking, and tilting with a wide range of emotional animations. Its expressive LCD eyes convey joy, surprise, anger, sadness, and curiosity with impressive nuance. No app or Wi-Fi required, it works right out of the box.
