A company have launched a robot friend for your pet. Described as a 3-in-1 pet companion, the Rocki features a pet feeder, camera, and pet toy all rolled into one package. The $199 device, available from late January, is designed to keep an eye on your cats or other pets while away. Rocki can be remotely controlled through the Rocki app anywhere, supporting an automated snack feeder, a swappable toy, and a video connection. The platform employs all-directional wheels, so it can play a few movement-based games with pets. Rocki holds fifteen servings of treats to be dispersed on demand. The treats go through the toss chamber and lands one to two feet in front of Rocki. Feed pets on demand through the Rocki app. The creators explain: “Think of Rocki as a pet sitter or a smartphone for pets. What sets Rocki apart from pet monitors on the market is the superb mobility, a robotic arm, night vision, and a treat dispenser all in one Rocki. “The mobility is based on four macanum all-directional wheels, which solves a problem shared by stationary pet monitors. Cats simply want to play hide and seek at the exact moment you want to check on them. Rocki moves across all types of home terrain without sweat and finds your playful cats in no time. The night vision camera is extra useful when you heard noises in the living room at night, but do not want to leave the bed, so Rocki gets the message through to your cats.” Rocki is currently available for pre-order.
