OKK K6 Programmable Remote Control Robot Dog: features and who it suits

The OKK K6 is an electronic toy dog that walks, dances, barks and responds to commands. It comes assembled, and it can be controlled by voice, hand gestures or a remote, so a child can play with it in several ways rather than just steering it around.

Three ways to control it

OKK lists voice control with up to seven spoken commands, such as "Hello" and "Sing a song". Hand gestures and touch also work: touching the chin makes the dog move and make sounds. The included remote lets a child drive the dog forward and back, make it perform a handstand, and change the volume.

Voice recognition in toys of this kind typically works best in a quiet room with clear, close speech, so expect some trial and error with the commands.

Programming mode

A program mode lets a child chain commands into a sequence that the dog then runs one after another. This is a simple introduction to the idea of giving a machine ordered instructions, and OKK presents it as part of the entertainment. It does not need a computer or app.

Dancing and stunts

The dog can dance to music, perform a stunt and bark, according to the brand. These behaviours can be triggered with the remote, gestures or voice.

Power

Two rechargeable batteries are included, and OKK says the toy needs batteries to run. A battery-saving mode puts the dog in sleep mode if it has been inactive for 80 seconds. After that, you would wake it to continue playing.

Materials and age

OKK says the toy is made of BPA-free material with no phthalates and no small hazardous add-ons. The listing does not state an age range here, so check the packaging or manual for the recommended age, and supervise young children as the manual advises.

Size

It measures about 8.5 x 8.6 x 5.7 inches (roughly 22 x 22 x 14 cm) and weighs 1.8 lb (about 0.8 kg), so it is a tabletop and living-room-floor toy.

Who it suits

It suits children who enjoy interactive toys and pretend play with a pet, and families who like a toy that works without a phone or tablet.

What to check before you buy

• Age grading: confirm the recommended age on the product information.
• Charging: check how the batteries charge and how long that takes.
• Remote batteries: check whether the remote needs its own batteries and whether they are included.
• Floor surface: walking toys usually work better on hard, flat floors than on thick carpet.
• Noise: it makes sounds and music, but the volume is adjustable from the remote.
