Sphero
A Sphero is a spherical robot capable of rolling around, and controlled by a smartphone or tablet. Sphero's can be driven using a joystick-like controller on an iPad or phone. Spheros can also be programmed to move, turn, play a sound, change colors, blink, etc.
Different Sphero models include the Sphero 2.0, Sphero Sprk+, BB-8, and the Sphero Mini. All operate similarly, though the Sphero Mini has an entertaining feature in which the robot responds to facial expressions.
