Tombot Puppy
Need a virtual pet that gets a little more interactive than simply purring and whirring? A company called Tombot launched a companion dog that behaves and responds like a real one. Its name is Puppy, and it wags its tail, opens and closes its mouth, and turns its head as if it can’t believe what you just said. Tombot even worked with folks from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop to help make the company’s robo-dog more affable. If you’ve ever squeed over a muppet’s cute mannerisms, Tombot might be your thing.
The Tombot Puppy doesn’t come cheap, though. It usually costs $500 to reserve, though the company has discounted it to $450 for new folks who want to get on the waitlist.
