MarsCat Robotic Cat Unboxing and First Impressions

Unboxing MarsCat! I apologize if this video is a little all over the place, I didn't set out with a very specific outline of what I wanted to cover, so the end result is a bit of a mish-mash of different MarsCat clips, but hopefully still fun and informative. MarsCat is still very rough around the edges with lots of bugs present in its current state and feels more like the first draft of something rather than a finished product, but I wanted to purchase one myself to give people a better idea of its abilities outside of advertising footage.

I’m denied cat ownership because of where I live. If I had one of these, I’d just feel so sad. I just want a real cat. Nothing compares to that companionship.

With you on that! The robots are cute,but human made things are not as good as a real meows!

[@thisdeath]

dang who would deny cat ownership? like your parents..

[@sillyface6950]

​@@thisdeathmany people rent the place they are staying, and often landlords don't allow pets in their buildings. It probably has something to do with fur or damage caused by having an animal or something. Idk.

This is the most adorable robot cat I ever seen

[@cattipat]

I see a lot of people here saying they want a Marscat and I want to warn them of what they could end up with. I recently bought a Marscat (received Jan 9/23) and it hasn't been a good experience so far. I saved up for it for almost a year. When I got it two weeks ago, first problem out of the box was that they sent me an AC adapter which is supposed to have red and green charger indicator lights but didn't. The adapter is the only way you can tell if the Marscat is charged. There are no charge lights on the Marscat or the charging stand. When I turned the Marscat on, it wouldn't stay connected to Bluetooth for more than 10 seconds, which means I can't use the Marscat app. Also, it wouldn't respond to verbal commands even though it could "see" its toys. But the worst was when the Marscat started rebooting over and over after less than 5 minutes of operation. It would just stop in its tracks, eyes would turn black and it would collapse to the floor, then turn on and get back up again. Lather rinse repeat every 2 minutes. Good luck getting warranty support from Elephant Robotics! First of all they expect customers with defective merchandise to pay the cost of shipping back to ER in China, even if any defects are clearly Elephant Robotics' fault. That means $400 USD to ship from the US or Canada. Secondly they are slow to respond to emails (it takes at least a week to get a reply), their English skills are poor because they use an online translator, and they try to blame the malfunctions on the customer "not knowing how to use the product". They tried to tell me that the Bluetooth problem is normal, same with the AC adapter having no lights. They've ignored my complaint about the failure to respond to commands and Marscat restarting itself. I sent a second email about that after they didn't respond to the first a week later. It's now been over a week without a response to my last email. Their warranty is only 90 days, so I suspect they may be stringing me along on purpose until my warranty runs out. I don't want to turn the Marscat on because I'm afraid it's restarting due to overheating and could be unsafe. So it sits in its box.... waiting... for Elephant Robotics to take responsibility for the $2000+ piece of junk they sent me. It's a shame, because during the brief time I tested the Marscat I liked it and had started to become attached to it - even though I already have living cats.

[@cattipat]

Update - it's now been three months since I wasted my money on this junk. Elephant robotics wasted a month of my warranty period sending me a "new" battery which was older than the 2 year old battery that came with the Marscat. Now that the "new" battery hasn't worked, they've blown me off by telling me that the problems with my Marscat are "software bugs" which won't be fixed until hell freezes over. I've found other dissatisfied customers who had exactly the same problems with their Marscats, and are being given exactly the same runaround being sent 2 year old batteries and told to cool their heels waiting for non-existent "bugs" to be fixed. Stay away from this company, they have zero business ethics and will take your money leaving you with nothing in return. Don't buy any of their products unless you like losing your money.

​@@cattipatyep my friend got screwed over as well with hers

[@CastielTheAngel]

No offense but.....did you actually expect to get treated well by a chinese company? China and India are the most well established scammer countries in the world. All I buy from china are cheap little toys and plushes off aliexpress, but never buy anything over $100 from china unless you're comfortable with getting scammed. They're only out to line their pockets and give you shitty bootleg crap in return

[@knantyell]

The walk reminds me of those Techno cat robots. For the price you’d expect a little better! Super cute regardless, just not worth the price in my opinion. Needs a few more years of improvement, the potential is there!

[@iwritetoomuch8907]

We're still waiting for ours. Over THREE years now and they won't refund either. Lots of customers are getting broken products. They have the nerve to have black Friday sales without taking care of the customers they already have.

[@mamaloz6200]

I Personally think that marscat's movement is fairly decent for such little room for a decent size circuit board. Considering how many different things marscat can do, it seems quite complex for its size.

"It can be a little bit difficult to tell when it's operating normally and when it's run into an error." Much like owning a real cat tbqh An interesting little robot overall! I think, like some other reviewers commented, that if I was going to get one I might wait for a later version with some of the quirks ironed out, so I hope the developers continue to fine-tune this critter. It definitely has some very cute mannerisms already.

In the future I’m planning to make a cat that’s way more movable more realistic and maybe we will record the cats meowing so it sounds real good right now I’m 10 so I have a Lotta years to go

[@highcsfabrications9028]

Looking forward to seeing your design. Synthetic muscle will definitely help it move more realistically and will likely be cheap enough to use by the time you enter your adult years. The software for generating a more realistic meow will also likely be able to on a power efficient CPU too. Soft robotics is a very real cool developing field of study. You will learn a lot and it will be hard to remember it all, so building a knowledge system (second brain) will help keep you from forgetting stuff that could be very useful later. Live Long and Prosper.

[@DehnJay]

I can’t believe that actually made a real animal based off of marscat

[@unicornwizhez4115]

She's talking to it too realistically for me lol. We need robotic ferrets the design and software would be so east. Just mostly a layered cup design for the slinky effect no joints in the legs and just give it random and chaotic movements. While adding some roomba features like spacial awarness (know where can fit) it would be so easy though to make a slinky robot that spazzes out.

[@angelwallflower]

I looked at the website. I discovered that you can customize the coding for the Marscat. I came to the conclusion that I like buying robots new because I can't trust if a buyer messed up the coding for the robot. It's a super cool-looking cat. I'm allergic to cats and dog dandruff. Please give updates on the progress of your robot cat. I only have a vector robot.
