Kiki, pet robot, Zoetic, Inc., Mountain View, California, USA

We took a moment to speak with Zoetic AI at CES 2019 in the Eureka Park section, where we got to meet their new KiKi pet companion robot. KiKi literally has a lot of personality and there is no reason it should't wind up on store shelves within no time. It actually develops a unique personality as time goes on and you have many ways of interacting with it. Who knows where they will go from here. Eventually it might have legs and follow you around the house within so many generations of it if they continue to put a lot of work into it.

Kiki is the world's first robot that grows with you. Powered by our AI Personality Engine, every Kiki grows to be unique based on how you, the owner, interact with her. Every interaction with Kiki is meaningful and every experience helps her become a better companion for you.

Kiki holds a huge amount of tech in her little body. A high-end embedded processor allows Kiki to run deep learning models on-board to recognize your face and understand how you're feeling. Omni-directional hearing lets Kiki find you, even when she can't see you. Her full body is covered in touch sensors, so she can feel where you're petting her, so don't be surprised if she begs you for a belly rub.

Kiki is a new kind of AI robot. She does not tell you the weather or the stock market price. But she learns your daily routines, and knows when something's off.

Kiki can recognize faces, emotions, hear commands, and interact with other Kikis. She's a robot that's always there to hang out with you, and a robot to keep an eye on you.
