Product Information

Looking at pictures of CyberDog, though, it’s clear Xiaomi isn’t pitching the machine as a rival to Aibo, Sony’s own robot canine. To give a sense of reality to users, most digital pets have certain level of autonomy and unpredictability.

This gadget comes loaded with 32 different pixelated pets to choose from, ranging from dogs and cats to dinosaurs and robots. Today, there are also "Digital Pets" which have physical robotic bodies, known as Ludobots or Entertainment robots. Digital pets can be simulations of real animals, as in the Petz series, or fantasy ones, like the Tamagotchi or Digimon series.They are usually kept for companionship or enjoyment, as people may choose to keep a digital pet instead of a real one. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations June 2014 you have a duty to take reasonable care of Products whilst they are in your possession. This helps to make a pet's behavior seem natural, rather than calculated, and fosters a feeling of a relationship between user and digital pet. Pet-raising simulations often lack a victory condition or challenge, and can be classified as software toys. Warning: this product requires button cell batteries which if swallowed by children may lead to serious injury or death in as little as 2 hours.

There are also "simulation sites" where the webpage attempts to simulate a real-life discipline, such as horse dressage or pedigree dog showing. CyberDog also has three USB-C ports and one HDMI port, which Xiaomi says can be used to customize its hardware. The user can interact with the pet and this process of personalizing can make the pet more distinctive.Instead, users can only understand the pet by interpreting their actions, body language, facial expressions, etc.
