EMO

by LivingAI

#6 in Companion & desk robots

A tiny desk pet I'd keep by the keyboard. EMO recognizes people, tracks sounds, dances to music and never walks off the edge of your desk.

What’s good

  • Recognizes people, follows sounds
  • Won't fall off the desk
  • Games, music, alarms and weather

Heads-up

  • Ships about 2 weeks after you order
