Concerns about AI and the way it is already affecting our lives and will continue to do so even more in the future are everywhere these days. And while many of these concerns are well founded, it's hard to take them seriously when you see incredibly cute technological advances like the Casio Moflin AI Pet Robot. But it's true: this 130 x 90 x 180 mm (4.3 x 3 x 5.9") cuddly creature houses an artificial intelligence to rival the abilities of even a real pet!
The Casio Moflin AI Pet Robot cannot walk so depends on you to carry it around like a kitten or a puppy. But what it lacks in mobility it makes up for with gestures and small noises that are its responses to your behavior toward it! The Moflin's AI engine absorbs data from the touch, gyro, light, and temperature sensors as well as its microphone that hears your voice, and converts those into actions that vary. In other words, your Moflin develops a personality that is absolutely unique – and absolutely adorable!
