CES 2020 has come and go, with tons of tech companies beating their chests and demonstrating to the general public simply how superior their product could be. There were self-balancing Segways, “artificial humans”, and even a Bathroom Paper Robotic. Some were nice however some had been definitely on the, err… weirder facet of things.

Then there’s the robotics facet of the commerce show. The world has seen many iterations of robotic companions, from something as innocent as a pet robot to something extra lifelike (and creepier) humanoid robot. All of them have one thing to supply for us, but none, I'd say, is quite as utterly lifelike than the one in this article.

Meet MarsCat, the world’s first absolutely autonomous robot cat that actually does regardless of the hell it wants the minute it’s turned on. You don’t give it commands, you don’t give it directions, and also you don’t inform it what to do. zoomer kitty parts tells itself what to do, you recognize, kinda like how a real cat is. It’ll act like any common home cat, doing issues on its own volition.

The companion cat robot is at present on Kickstarter, the place it has managed to raise over $100,000 from the unique $20,000 goal. That’s a lot of people wanting a robotic cat as an alternative of an actual cat.

Whereas it is dubbed as a “cat”, the actual product does little to actually make it look as lifelike as doable. Instead, it looks extra like a furless version of Frankenstein’s cat rather than an actual one. But, it is still within the early levels though, so I’m positive they’ll do extra to enhance on the ultimate design (hopefully).

MarsCat nevertheless, nonetheless can respond to sure commands although the corporate has claimed that it is absolutely autonomous. Commands comparable to “run” and “stop” will likely be heeded by the robotic cat as soon because it hears them, which to me, breaks the immersion a bit of bit. The cat also responds to touch, so that you can provide it head scratches and it’ll reply accordingly. It even performs and interacts with objects and animals in its surroundings, corresponding to cat toys and even precise real cats!


Just have a look at these eyes staring back into your soul

If customers need to get access to the “cat” upon launch (March 2020), then they’d should fork out at the very least $649 (RM2637.00) for it. A low amount it's definitely not.

What do you guys consider the MarsCat? Is that this the future of household pets? Tell us within the feedback under!
