Of the first science fiction heroes like K9 Dr who, or muffit in the original Battlestar GalacticaRobot dogs have long been a basic food for television and films, but despite the predictions of each futuristic of the last 30 to 50 years, cleaning robots or pets have still not become commonplace in 2025, unless you count the best robot vacuum vacuum.
The story of Robo-Dogs dates back to a long way. Sony was one of the first companies to really do robot dogs with its AIBO range, which was published for the first time in 1999 in Japan, but, although sale ($ 2,899.99!), Seems to have been calm lately.
Since then, there have been others, such as the creation dog, but with all the progress of the AI which is taking place at the moment, it seems inevitable that intelligent robotic dogs make a return.
The last dog Robo to try to make his way in our lives is Sirius, from Hengbot. Sirius is a programmable and customizable robotic dog based on AI designed to become your faithful digital friend.
Emotionally intelligent
It is AI that really makes Sirius different from previous Robo dogs. Described as “emotionally intelligent”, Sirius has his own personality and can imitate the movements of real dogs such as jump, stretching and even dance.
Sirius can manage vocal recognition, natural language processing and image recognition. He can even understand your gestures. You can teach it tips, synchronize gestures with voice commands and even download personalized facial expressions.
About 10 inches high, Sirius is roughly the size of a chihuahua. It is not too heavy either, with a 1 kg frame built from aerospace quality alloy for quick and reactive actions. Inside his AI brain, Sirius has up to 5 peaks of the edge calculation power and is delivered with a USB-C peripheral expansion and a powerful 2250 mAh battery which offers a promise of 40 to 60 minutes of playing time.
A new robotic species
“With Sirius, we did not just build a robot, we created the first of a new kind of robotic species,” said Peiheng Song, CEO of Hengbot. “Propelled by our neurocore system, Sirius marks the beginning of a growing universe of intelligent and customizable robots designed to give life to your imagination.”
Sirius is designed to be easy to personalize and program, whether you are a curious child, a first robot owner or a technology developer.
He uses a visual editor similar to a game that you can use to choreography dance routines, teach Sirius’ personalized tips or train, without required coding.
