ropet

In today’s high-pressure urban environments, professional women aged 30–35 living alone face a significant emotional companionship gap. Traditional pets are often impractical due to housing constraints and time demands, while existing smart devices lack emotional depth in their design.

Ropet reimagines emotional companionship through the concept of a “digital lifeform,” reconstructing the experience with a bionic AI system designed for warmth, interaction, and growth:

A fusion of softness and structure:

Ropet combines soft, lifelike fur and a built-in warming system with robotic actuators and hardware, achieving a balance between mechanical precision and tactile comfort.

Biomimetic sensory design:

Like a real pet, Ropet perceives the world through four key sensory modalities—vision, hearing, touch, and motion (gravity) sensing. These sensors are seamlessly integrated into the design, ensuring functionality without compromising aesthetics.

Interactive growth mechanism:

Powered by an on-device AI model, Ropet is capable of memory, behavioral development, and personality formation over time—simulating the evolving presence of a living companion.
