Even pet play is being taken over by robots.
A company named VARRAM has launched the VARRAM Pet Fitness Robot, an artificial intelligence-powered, five-sense-stimulating pet companion.
The company said this robot is ideal for busy pet owners who worry about leaving their pets at home alone over long periods of time.
VARRAM’s robot was designed to appeal to pets, but it is not your average pet toy.
The Pet Fitness Robot's advanced technology allows pet owners to remotely track and monitor their pet's activity, decide when their pets are active, set the duration of activity, and control the number of treats their pet receives, all from a convenient smartphone application.
An iOS and Android compatible application enables owners to control the robot's settings, even while they are away.
Throughout the course of a 10-hour day, the company's robot can promote activity to distract a pet from the stress associated with separation anxiety and encourage exercise to combat or prevent depression, lethargy, and obesity.
