Introducing Sirius, Hengbot's latest robotic dog that is not only agile and athletic, but also highly intelligent and interactive. This multi-talented "pet" can not only dance to music and play soccer, but it can also engage in voice conversations with its owner. With its impressive array of skills and capabilities, Sirius is poised to become a new favorite in households.
Sirius boasts the ability to "quickly move" and dance to music, all while shaking hands with its owner. It has 14 motion axes built into its legs and head, along with a proprietary joint system called "Neurocore" that makes its movements more natural and fluid. However, it's worth noting that Sirius is primarily designed for use on flat indoor surfaces and is not suited for navigating stairs or other complex environments. So while it's highly capable indoors, its performance outdoors may be limited.
When it comes to battery life, Sirius can last 40 to 60 minutes in motion and 1 to 2 hours in a stationary state. It takes approximately 1 hour to charge, making it relatively convenient for use in a home setting.
One of the most intriguing features of Sirius is its integration of OpenAI's large language model. This means that not only can it communicate through voice, but it can also gradually develop a unique personality based on the owner's preferences. Users can customize its behavior to mimic specific dog breeds, such as Corgis or Poodles, and even customize its voice, adding to the interactive fun.
Hengbot emphasizes that Sirius does not collect user data, ensuring privacy for users. The robotic dog is currently available for pre-order on the Hengbot website for $1,299 (approximately 9,314 yuan), with an expected release date in the fall.
Sirius is more than just a smart toy; its versatility and intelligent interactive experience make it highly anticipated. It could very well become the new darling of households in the future.
