Would you swap your real-life pet for an AI-powered alternative? Meet Sirius the robot dog and decide for yourself
SMRTR summary
Sirius, a robotic dog with an AI brain, is nuzzling its way into the world of digital pets. Standing just 10 inches tall, this chihuahua-sized companion from Hengbot boasts "emotional intelligence" and can mimic real dog behaviors like jumping and even dancing.
Unlike its predecessors, Sirius leverages advanced AI to recognize voice commands, process natural language, and understand gestures. Users can teach it tricks, upload custom facial expressions, and program routines using a game-like visual editor.
CEO Peiheng Song says, "With Sirius, we didn't just build a robot, we created the first of a new kind of robotic species."
This high-tech pup packs impressive specs: up to 5 TOPS of edge computing power, a 2250mAh battery for 40-60 minutes of playtime, and an aerospace-grade alloy frame.
Available for pre-order worldwide at $1299, Sirius aims to fetch the hearts of curious kids and tech-savvy developers alike when it launches in Fall 2025.
