Overview

A consumer robot dog pitched as the first that needs no remote control, since it follows its owner, responds to its name and takes open-ended LLM-style instructions. Sold in Europe as the Vbot SuperDog, and nicknamed Babo by the maker (Chinese press renders the same name as Big Head BoBo, after its oversized head). Unit #001 went to Horizon Robotics founder Yu Kai, and commercial deliveries in China began in May 2026 after the company had scheduled them for April. The European launch at IFA 2026 came with purchase agreements from 16 international partners covering Germany, France and the United Kingdom, in SuperDog, EDU and EDU-W versions (the EDU-W carries 15 kg and runs 4–6 h). The official site still lists a global version for North America, Europe and the Middle East in Q2 2026, but no US channel, retailer or delivery has been announced as of October 2026. A 1/4-inch camera mount and magnetic back interface make it a mobile camera rig or cart tow.
