This extended study surveys comprehensive research on BB-8-like spherical robots, focusing on their mechanical architecture, control mechanisms, wireless communication systems, autonomous navigation using SLAM, and human-robot interaction (HRI). With advances in embedded systems, AI, and machine learning, spherical robots are achieving higher mobility, smarter interaction capabilities, and enhanced autonomy. The review consolidates insights from recent studies, aiming to guide the development of a fully autonomous, emotionally intelligent BB-8-inspired robot. Additionally, this paper highlights existing challenges and potential future directions for research in spherical robotics.
