LOVOT

A companion robot from Japanese startup GROOVE X, designed purely to be loved. LOVOT doesn't clean or cook — it exists to make you feel happy. It uses over 50 sensors, deep learning, and a warm body temperature to create lifelike behavior. It recognizes its owner, reacts to touch all over its body, and develops a unique personality over time. The sensor horn on its head houses a 360° camera, thermal camera, and microphone array for room mapping and person detection.
