A.I has come a long way in the world of beating humans at video games, and in-home assistants like Google Home and Amazon Alexa are nice tools, for both productivity and laziness.
But unfortunately, robot pets are still not much more impressive than Aibo from over a decade ago.
WowWee also has some other interesting toys, including Coji the Coding Robot.
One of the most popular programmable robots. Cozmo by Anki can recognize your face and can be programmed to do many fun things, including voice commands.
The Alpha S1 is the most Agile of all the robot toys, and has some programmable functions via app and bluetooth. It can tell stories and perform dance moves, but it does not really feel like a pet as it is not very interactive.
Conclusion
Robot are pretty cool, and we want more, better, for cheap!

A real budget home robot. If, like me, you're not ready to spend a lot, then this robot might be for you.
