After An initial appearance has These 2025The Hengbot $ 1,299 Sirius Robot Dog is pre -order Thursday, highlighting an agile body capable of playing football while integrating with Openai to develop its own personality.
(Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET’s parent company in April, filed a complaint against Openai, alleging that it has violated Ziff Davis Copyrights in the training and exploitation of its AI systems.)
While robot dogs have existed for decades with brands like Sony’s AiboSirius Robot de Hengbot puts a particular accent on the speed with which he can move. The company showed it in videos that demonstrate it Dance with piano music or shake hands next to a real dog. The Sirius robot has a total of 14 axes through its legs and the head with owner joints called neurocore which let it move more naturally.
Hengbot says that it is also customizable using a “game type” publisher, with the possibility of personalizing the robot personality to look more like specific dogs such as a corgi, to set up different facial reactions to appear on its head or download voice packs to customize what the robot looks like.
However, Hengbot notes that, because it is a robot after all, the Sirius robot dog is mainly intended for flat interior surfaces and is not supposed to be played with the outside. Thus, although the dance and football matches (which can be played with a controller included) are good, the Sirius robot is unlikely to climb from top to bottom on the stairs of a house. The robot battery will also allow it to operate for 40 to 60 minutes when moving or from one to two hours when Hengbot says it takes about an hour to recharge. Other Sirius specifications include an 8 megapixel camera used for vision, two USB-C ports used for development and accessories
Hengbot’s robot dog Sirius can be set up with controllers and a VR helmet to play a football match.
Using a network connection, the Sirius robot develops its personality with integration with large language models like OpenAi, which it also uses to process vocal commands. This may include asking for dancing, sitting or acting like other animals like a cat. Hengbot says that the dog itself does not collect data but also advises that Sirius is more designed for adults who wish to use some of the most creative characteristics of which the dog is capable.
And this distinction is important, because AI is always subject to hallucinations and other errors. For example, last year, my colleague Bridget Carey tested a Leather bear compatible with chatpt named POE Made by the toy manufacturer based in Los Angeles. The bear created stories using prompts in the application, but at launch, its vocabulary was rather verbose for young audiences. While the Sirius robot of Hengbot will dance mainly, barks and moves, Hengbot says that the Sirius robot is finally intended to integrate into a wider creative platform intended for accommodation and sharing different projects.
The Sirius robot is available to pre -order on the Hengbot website and it should be available this fall.
