Meet Sirius, the latest robotic dog from Hengbot, a multi-talented "pet" that's more than just a companion. Equipped with OpenAI's large language model, Sirius can engage in voice conversations, dance to music, and even play soccer, showcasing its impressive agility and dexterity.

The Sirius robotic dog boasts a "quick movement" feature, allowing it to dance in rhythm with music and "shake hands" with its owner. Its legs and head are fitted with 14 motion axes and proprietary "Neurocore" joints, resulting in more natural and fluid movements. However, it's important to note that Sirius is primarily designed for use on flat indoor surfaces and may not perform as well in complex environments like stairs.

In terms of battery life, Sirius can last for 40 to 60 minutes during active use and up to 1 to 2 hours in a stationary state. Charging time takes approximately 1 hour, making it relatively convenient for use in a home setting.

What sets Sirius apart is its integration of OpenAI's large language model. This enables the robotic dog to communicate through voice and gradually develop a unique personality based on its owner's preferences. Users can customize Sirius to resemble specific dog breeds, such as Corgis or Poodles, and even personalize its voice, adding to the interactive fun.

Hengbot emphasizes that Sirius does not collect user data, ensuring privacy during use. The robotic dog is currently available for pre-order on Hengbot's official website, priced at $1,299 (approximately 9,314 yuan). It is expected to be officially launched this fall.

Sirius is more than just an intelligent toy; its versatility and intelligent interactive experiences make it an exciting addition to future households. This robotic dog may very well become the new favorite companion in homes to come.
