Hengbot's latest innovation, the Sirius machine dog, is not just a technological marvel but also a charming companion. This agile and intelligent pet is designed to dance to the beat of music, engage in voice conversations, and even kick a soccer ball around. Its 14 motion axes and exclusive "Neurocore" joints allow for fluid and natural movements, making it an impressive display of mechanical agility. Yet, Sirius is primarily intended for indoor use on flat surfaces, limiting its outdoor capabilities due to its complex design.
The Sirius machine dog boasts a battery life of 40 to 60 minutes when active and up to 1 to 2 hours when stationary, with a charging time of approximately 1 hour. This makes it a convenient addition to any household. What sets Sirius apart is its integration of OpenAI's large language model, enabling it to communicate vocally and develop a unique personality tailored to its owner's preferences. Users can customize Sirius to mimic the behavior and voice of specific dog breeds, such as corgis or poodles, adding a layer of interactive entertainment.
Hengbot emphasizes the privacy of its users, assuring that Sirius does not collect personal data, providing peace of mind during use. The machine dog is now available for pre-order on Hengbot's official website, priced at $1299, which is approximately 9314 yuan. It is expected to hit the market this fall.
Sirius is more than just an intelligent toy; it offers a multifunctional and smart interactive experience that is both exciting and anticipated. It may very well become the new favorite in homes of the future.
