The new pet of the pet industry can do the robot dog

Playing the robot dog with the remote control is quite interesting, but it is far from the modern intelligence we are looking forward to. The pet we want is like this: don't take it with you every day, and as soon as you shout, it will appear in front of you.

The new pet of the pet industry can do the robot dog

Playing the robot dog with the remote control is quite interesting, but it is far from the modern intelligence we are looking forward to. The pet we want is like this: don't take it with you every day, and as soon as you shout, it will appear in front of you.

WowWee's CHIP is such a robot dog.

It has been more than half a year since CHIP debuted. The $199 robot dog has a good track record on Indiegogo, raising $178,000 from more than 1,000 sponsors. But its development speed is very slow, and WowWee is wise to listen to the advice of the sponsors for product improvement.

This robot dog can almost achieve 360 ​​degree induction

The primary concern of everyone is its innovation in voice control technology. Last year I chatted with people at WowWee. Their spokesperson said that not only is the sound no longer the basis for pathfinding, but the robotic dog does not even have a pathfinding function.

This is not all. Although sound is the key to your communication with CHIP, it does not require voice recognition to sense the environment, or to follow and respond to the owner. This robot dog has a nearly 360-degree sensing mechanism, and with a specially designed roller, it can move in almost all directions. If the owner has a matching smart bracelet, it can run around with the owner. And react to key commands.

But the sponsors also want to make CHIP smarter.

Although CHIP does not handle natural language processing, it can react to default directives and names. For example, if you say "Hello, CHIP" (or whatever name you gave it), it will be called "Wang Wang" and tell you that it understands. Then, it responds to commands like "sit down," "play with me," "catch," and "we dance."

Of course, even if it is not called CHIP, it will respond if it has already marked your voice. But Davin Sufer, director of WowWee, told me that if you first call its name, the interaction will be smoother. Otherwise, the robot dog will always be listening. According to my experiments, the recognition accuracy of CHIP is close to 70%.

WowWee is also perfecting some of the other smart features of CHIP, such as playing football - of course, it uses its own special football, yoga, and automatic charging. It successfully completed these instructions in front of me.

WowWee said that even with these new features, CHIP's endurance is enough to support it for a while to accompany the owner for a while.

WowWee has switched its retail partners from Indiegogo to a more lucrative Amazon to prepare for the next pre-sale. Soon, you can buy this robot dog for $199.99, with its toy ball and two smart bracelets. This way other family members can also play with CHIP.

When the CHIP came out, Sufer thought that the time would probably be in the late summer (the time given by Amazon is August 30), but it is not ruled out that it will be postponed until October. During this time, WowWee will continue to improve its performance and add radio capabilities to CHIP and its toy ball.

For robotics enthusiasts, this is good enough. Now what WowWee has to do is to make CHIP as smart as possible and smarter.
