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 $349 and available on Amazon it is among the more affordable AI companion pets aimed at loneliness and stress relief. RobotTesters has not tested a unit, so this is a specs-based assessment.
