2014年7月時，Sphero團隊參加了[[华特迪士尼公司]]針對新創公司的技術加速計劃，團隊成員受邀和迪士尼的CEO[[羅伯特·艾格]]進行會議，艾格給他們看2015年要發行的電影《[[STAR WARS：原力覺醒]]》中，還沒有人看過的照片，以及BB-8（這部電影出現的機器人角色）的照片，授權以Sphero的技術生產官方的BB-8玩具。迪士尼也對Sphero進行了小幅的投資。BB-8玩具在2015年9月4日問世，配合一個以STAR WARS為主題的特製控制app，也有以[[擴增實境]]方式顯示全像訊息的功能<ref name=wired-bb8>{{cite news|title=The Story (And Tech) Behind That Awesome Star Wars BB-8 Toy|url=https://www.wired.com/2015/09/bb8-the-inside-story/|accessdate=5 September 2015|periodical=Wired|publisher=Conde Nest|archive-date=2018-07-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180715181750/https://www.wired.com/2015/09/bb8-the-inside-story/|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref name=thenational-bb8>{{cite web|title=Disney’s support for start-ups led to one new company winning a dream Star Wars contract|url=http://www.thenational.ae/arts-lifestyle/film/disneys-support-for-start-ups-led-to-one-new-company-winning-a-dream-star-wars-contract|website=TheNational.ae|accessdate=5 September 2015|archive-date=2017-06-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170613050526/http://www.thenational.ae/arts-lifestyle/film/disneys-support-for-start-ups-led-to-one-new-company-winning-a-dream-star-wars-contract|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

== 運作 ==
Sphero可以用以[[IOS]]、[[Android]]或[[Windows Phone]]的[[智能手机]]或是[[平板電腦]]透過[[藍牙]]控制，並且用充電座進行[[無線充電]]<ref name="time-heroic"/><ref name="mashable">{{cite web|url=http://mashable.com/2012/08/29/sphero|title=Robotic Ball Sphero Rolls Gaming to a Whole New Level|website=Mashable|author=Chelsea Stark|date=August 30, 2012|accessdate=2018-04-29|archive-date=2017-12-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171228232402/http://mashable.com/2012/08/29/sphero/|dead-url=no}}</ref>。Sphero中有[[加速規]]及[[陀螺儀]]，因此針對iOS及Android平台的遊戲，也可以作為[[游戏控制器]]<ref name="mashable"/><ref name="forbes">{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2013/01/09/ces-hey-sphero-shall-we-play-a-game/|title=CES: Hey, Sphero!

使用者可以用名為Sphero Macrolab的[[应用软件]]來對Sphero編程，Sphero Macrolab中包括一組預定義的[[巨集]]，以及一種以[[BASIC]]為基礎的[[编程语言]]，稱為[[编程语言]]<ref name="macworld">{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/2047002/review-sphero-2-0-is-a-brighter-faster-smartphone-controlled-ball-of-fun.html|title=Review: Sphero 2.0 is a brighter, faster, smartphone-controlled ball of fun|publisher=Macworld|author=Susie Ochs|date=August 21, 2013|accessdate=2018-04-29|archive-date=2018-04-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180430050125/https://www.macworld.com/article/2047002/review-sphero-2-0-is-a-brighter-faster-smartphone-controlled-ball-of-fun.html|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

Sphero和Ollie以及BB-8有一個不同之處，Sphero本身是完全密封防水，可以在水中運作，而且可以運作很好，在冰凍的水中也有mixed藍牙通訊能力。不過若將BB-8的頭移除，其他部份也是防水的。

== 其他產品 ==
=== Sphero Mini ===
Sphero Mini是Sphero的小型版本，是第一組外殼可以更換的Sphero機器人。外殼有白色、藍色、粉紅色、綠色及橘色。Sphero Mini是Sphero所生產最便宜的機器人，價格美金49元。Sphero Mini是用micro USB充電，和Sphero 2.0不同，因此也沒有防水機能。

== 規格 ==
=== 硬體 ===
Sphero的外形是白色球體，重量{{convert|0.37|lb|g}}<ref name="theverge-specs">{{cite news|url=https://www.theverge.com/products/sphero/4411|title=Orbotix Sphero|website=The Verge|publisher=Vox Media|accessdate=February 7, 2014|archive-date=2017-12-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171228172433/https://www.theverge.com/products/sphero/4411|dead-url=no}}</ref>。其中的處理器是75 MHz [[ARM處理器內核列表|ARM Cortex]] M4，有二個350 mAh的[[鋰離子聚合物電池]]，也有[[加速計]]及[[陀螺儀]]。[[藍牙]]可以用在通訊中，<ref name="theverge-specs"/><ref name="spec">{{cite press release|url=http://www.gosphero.com/tech-specs/|title=Tech Specs|publisher=Orbotix|accessdate=February 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221071852/http://www.gosphero.com/tech-specs/|archive-date=2014-02-21|dead-url=yes}}</ref>以及電源的[[無線充電]]<ref name="Tri"/>。

在機構上，會將Sphero內部的機構和二輪電動車輛（例如[[賽格威]]）比較<ref name="Tri"/>。

=== 軟體及韌體 ===
Sphero的韌體可以用原廠app自動更新<ref name="update">{{cite press release|url=http://www.gosphero.com/sphero-app-update-based-on-your-feedback/|title=Sphero App Update Based On Your Feedback|publisher=Orbotix|accessdate=February 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141121071255/http://www.gosphero.com/sphero-app-update-based-on-your-feedback/|archive-date=2014-11-21|dead-url=yes}}</ref>也有[[软件开发工具包]]（SDK），可以創建和Sphero互動的應用軟體<ref name="mashable"/><ref name="geek-sdk">{{cite web|url=http://www.geek.com/android/orbotix-releases-the-sphero-sdk-at-google-io-1376613/|title=Orbotix releases the Sphero SDK at Google I/O|publisher=[[Geek.com]]|author=Russell Holly|date=May 10, 2011|accessdate=2018-05-04|archive-date=2018-05-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180504225704/https://www.geek.com/android/orbotix-releases-the-sphero-sdk-at-google-io-1376613/|dead-url=yes}}</ref>。在其他的設備或是平台中也有非原廠的SDK，例如[[機器人作業系統]]<ref name="ieee">{{cite web|url=http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/home-robots/orbotix-rolls-out-speedy-nextgen-sphero|title=Orbotix Rolls Out Speedy Next-Gen Sphero|publisher=IEEE Spectrum|author=Evan Ackerman|date=August 14, 2013|accessdate=2018-05-04|archive-date=2018-05-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180505095754/https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/home-robots/orbotix-rolls-out-speedy-nextgen-sphero|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref name="spherodev">{{cite web|url=https://developer.gosphero.com/|title=Sphero Developer Center|publisher=Orbotix|accessdate=February 5, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330073901/http://developer.gosphero.com/|archive-date=2018-03-30|dead-url=yes}}</ref>。
