They can do stuff like this. Why can't they make a robot dog for around the house?

Amazes me that people will pay to be spied on.

A version like Doctor Who’s K9 would be great.

My cats would take this down. They think moths are the greatest thing ever and they are edible. The boy cat is a high jumper. Maybe 4.5 feet or more.

Thing won’t last long if you have a cat.

No thank you. Even with Ring's assurances, that drone is going to bonk somebody on the head and cause a head or eye injury sooner or later. 😲💥🤕🙄

I have several Ring devices. I hate dealing with their phone service. First, you have to log into their website in order to get someone on the phone. Then they do this two factor authentication crap. I hate that. Doesn’t matter where I am, I have to go to another computer or cell phone to get the authentication codes. They can’t/won’t turn that off. Then I finally get someone on the phone who is difficult to understand.

I’m charging mine right now. Finally dug out the Sony AIBO out after near 17 years, let’s see if the battery held up.

The basic technology certainly has existed a long time. Back then such a beast was able to wander around on its own, built-in camera, reasonably convincing/amusing behavior. Dropping the computing power of a cellphone into it would be AMAZING; surprised it hasn’t been seriously pursued as a home product. (Yeah the AIBO had limited acceptance; one of those technologies that should have been pursued in a corner of a lab for a couple decades so it could be ready when society was.)
