Overview
A lifelike furry pet, offered as a Golden Retriever, a West Highland White Terrier or a Silver Shaded Cat, that responds to touch and voice with pet sounds, expressions and movements. Inside, a millimeter-wave radar tracks sleep, heart rate and breathing without a wearable or camera, and the app can share those trends with family members, so it is pitched at seniors living alone. The maker says the readings are for general wellness, not medical use. The Kickstarter campaign is still in pre-launch, and no specs, price, website or company details beyond Hong Kong have been published. It sits alongside Moflin and Nicobo as a comfort pet rather than a programmable robot.
