Ropet AI Robot Pet
A palm-sized furry AI companion with expressive eyes and ChatGPT conversation
Overview
Ropet is a palm-sized, fur-covered AI companion pet built for emotional connection rather than chores. Weighing just 600 g, it uses dual LCD "eyes", haptic feedback and pet-like sounds — driven by its "Affective Neural Network" — to convey moods, while a 4K micro-camera handles face recognition and a capacitive body responds to petting. After a roughly 14–20 day bonding period it unlocks ChatGPT-powered two-way conversation. With 3 degrees of freedom it stays put on a desk rather than roaming like Loona, but at 99 and available on Amazon it is among the most affordable AI companion pets aimed at loneliness and stress relief. RobotTesters has not tested a unit, so this is a specs-based assessment.
