UBTECH Robotics Lynx
Rating: 5/10, Unsettlingly useless. Back in 2017, before every last device in our homes was connected to and controlled by smart assistants living in the cloud, Ubtech’s Lynx seemingly filled a very useful role. The 20-inch tall humanoid could walk and balance on two legs and follow you around your home, ensuring that Amazon’s Alexa was always in range and ready to answer your questions about the weather or sports. It wasn’t a bad idea, just not one worth $800.
