About Ropet

Ropet is an AI robot-pet startup that debuted its palm-sized companion at CES 2025, with a founding team drawing on expertise from Stanford, ByteDance and Baidu. Ropet is a 600 g, fur-covered desk pet built for emotional connection rather than tasks: dual LCD 'eyes', haptic feedback and pet-like sounds — driven by an 'Affective Neural Network' — convey moods, while a 4K micro-camera does face recognition and a capacitive body responds to petting. After a roughly 14–20 day bonding period it unlocks ChatGPT-powered two-way conversation. On 26 October 2026 the official store listed KAMOMO Pro at $279.99, a sale price; the regular price is $349. Ropet targets loneliness and stress relief, positioned against pricier companions like Casio's Moflin and walking pets like Loona.
