I bought this for my 4yo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlnP-8SczF0

Sorry the vid is in Polish but I think you can get the idea.

It is a talking robot that does "missions" where you have to program it to go forward, backward or turn, take objects from the map, etc.

You reminded me of a robot I had as a kid in the early eighties. It had some rubber keys on the top (similar texture to the rubber buttons on a Sinclair Spectrum, but smaller). You could program it with a sequence of moves (IIRC forward, turn right, turn left, pause).

The robot you linked looks great, with the addition of the missions. But I'm not sure whether it's available in the US, so I ordered this one instead: https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Code-n-Learn-Kinderbot/d...
