Oro’s AI Pet Robot Feeds and Plays with Your Dog When You Can’t – By David Watsky (CNET) / Jan 8, 2024
Robots and pet tech are everywhere at CES 2024, but this “Mary Puppins” of robots (sorry, I had to) combines both trends into one.
With an anxious pup prone to separation anxiety, leaving the home can be as rough on s human as it is on the dog. But an autonomous robot with loads of smart features intended to care for your dog when you’re not around has arrived at CES 2024. We got a first look at the pet companion that aims to provide endless entertainment, attention, food and comfort when you’re unable to. The brand new Oro Dog Companion Robot retails for $799, and inventory will begin shipping in April 2024.
The Oro is built with advanced AI, according to founder, Divye Bhutani, as the Oro robot waited obediently beside us at the brand’s CES booth. The smart bot pet nanny is fitted with two-way audio and an interactive video screen so you can interact live with your dog from anywhere. It even allows you to capture images and videos to share with friends or on social media.
A built-in dispenser launches nibbles at that good boy or girl on your command and a separate but integrated automatic food bowl releases food on schedule or on command if you’re away during your pet’s regular feeding time.
