I just saw this product:

Bring down the technical and cost barriers of dynamic quadruped robot to an open-source pet | Check out 'Bittle: A Palm-sized Robot Dog for STEM and Fun' on Indiegogo.

The “real” devices are something like $70k. This one is $250. Might be worth it for those who like to play.
