[@Slappap]

YOU CAN BUY THESE?! I WATCHED A CAFE OF THEM!! I JUST ABOUT CRIED!!! I love them!!

[@earth2cody]

We watched the same video I think :DD

[@evergreens978]

Probably just a commercial scam.

[@satan4734]

I NEED ONE

[@avaavitaz]

SAMEEE

[@CezaryAndrzejewski-eq2zi]

​@@evergreens978 no

[@2goblinsinatrenchcoat]

I need one with a Totoro outfit lol

[@alyssandrazanfagna9087]

They are so cute! I want one! I am planning to move abroad by myself, so Lovot would be a great companion. Lovot is also easier to have when finding an apartment!

[@gon-chanlaura5155]

That looks like next level government surveillance... but also KAWAIIIIII

[@KellyMorita]

❤️

[@benedettobruno1669]

28 September 2019, Palermo, Sicily. I had the same thought! Lovot today, Policeot in a few years time.

[@sarahmeacheam7517]

Sooooo adorable!!! I'm crying from how cute these little guys are!!!

[@canadianTorchic]

Those Lovots are beyond adorable 🥰🥰 if they ever reach the European market, I'll definitely purchase one, for I cannot keep pets myself for several reasons, and yet I'm still longing for some sort of life-like company that I can express myself to ☺ plus, unlike most pets, Lovot are very likely pretty low-maintenance, so cleaning will very likely stay the same as how I currently live (solitarily).

[@babyfacedevon]

I'd love to see how they interact with pets at home, they're so cute!

[@hunterhenryk]

This is the quality Japan-only content I subbed for.

[@MariannaVlogs]

As a kid I would have absolutely loved one of these 😍 the technology behind it is so amazing! I do think that these would be great for an elderly person. Let’s say someone is at an age where they cannot care for an animal properly (but they love animals), they could provide so much comfort and company! It is kind of sad that there is a demand for an AI like this, but it could really help someone. Loved this video Kelly ❤️

[@MariannaVlogs]

Something also kind of weird, I didn’t notice the sensor horn until you touched it. I focused on their eyes so I was like whoa where did that come from haha!!

[@begia4274]

Doraemon is becoming real

[@echii2288]

Yes

[@channeltumanzzz5789]

Yeah😂

[@ratnakurnia9735]

Yos

[@quantumrydergo4179]

I love the message of this video. I came across your channel when I was dealing with my own depression and loneliness and you have always managed to make me smile 😊

[@chuckreid8562]

.... Amazing field trip....! Japan is full of wonderful things..... Kelly you and Ryuji are very fortunate..... Thank You....!

[@XjrhughesX]

A side benefit for older people that live alone -- Functionality could be put in place where a given Lovot could contact a family member wirelessly if their chosen human was not seen or interacted with them after a set time. Sort of a "Please come check on " or even let a neighbor know to visit.

[@ando1135]

I need this....no one sticks around in my life...even my friend recently “broke up” with me so I’ve just been depressed this whole month. Forever alone

[@aldomartinez7161]

Get vector robot is cheaper and have alexa integrated on it is also cute.buy it on ebay or amazon

[@user-hc4vf2ey4h]

LOVOT可愛いですよね〜！撫でるとめっちゃ反応してくれるので癒されます🥰

[@jaipiet7762]

Wow that looks so cute, a very nice alternative for pets, especially if you have any allergies to them.

[@Juichi]

Cute, reminds me of Paro. I never thought that holding a robot could feel so nice.

[@eggegg8181]

Awwww they’re so cute ❤️❤️❤️ I want one 😍 (bit out of my price range though!) I really want a plush toy version of these robots now haha. The design is so adorable. They would be great for someone with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. This was super interesting!

[@bjorncarlsson6498]

I hope these cuties will be released in Europe soon, I would definitely buy one for my workplace 💕

[@d.m0hr621]

Wow. These edits are next level, Kelly! Loving your aesthetic these days. It’s definitely a cool and innovative concept, but it reminds me a bit of black mirror 😳

[@animewhisperer1830]

this is something GREAT for grieving pet owners who have had their pet just pass away, and cant keep up with a new one, or one in general, or for people with allergies,

[@luislara4299]

Just incredible, thanks for hosting this

[@unasubliminals2683]

Ok imma say it now *SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!*

[@ThePirateHunter]

omg they're adorable !!

[@mynamesSpartacus]

THAT'S SO COOL!!!! We really live in the future. I love tech, and stuff like this always excites me. I'd really consider getting something like this since I live in Los Angeles and the majority of the apartments here are not pet friendly. Plus given my work schedule and career priorities I know I'm not at the best place to be a good dog dad right now. This is seriously so cool! Keep up the great work with this channel and your life in Japan. You're inspiring and you're really helping me to not give up on my dream of moving to/working in Japan one day. It's always been a dream of mine but got pushed to the side the older I got and the more my career started to progress (I'm 29). Always rooting for you and your happiness! :)

[@roxanneworld11]

oh, wow.. so precious!! i think i love them.. 😇 please keep us posted about this darling, sweet project. 👍👍

[@bejeweleddragon9627]

They’re so adorable! I want one now!!

[@nomadicmind6800]

Love this video, also I feel Ryuji would be a great dad just the way he handled them.

[@thefallenangel8317]

Thanks for sharing! We are visiting Japan next year for the first time! You gave my family and I a very cute, interesting idea for us to check out!

[@greghelton4668]

I find this sad, especially when the users are young people. It would be wonderful to keep track of people suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s.

[@Linklex7]

Greg Helton What can you do? People are more cold to each than ever before. As a result people are more alone than ever. These robots might be the only thing that will lower the rapid suicide rates

[@greghelton4668]

Linklex7 I’m in agreement with you. When I say sad I’m being sympathetic because many of the people who rely on a relationship with a robot are young. The relationship is purely for emotional purposes. So many young people seem lost nowadays. The robots could be used for psychological and medical purposes with the older folks. They would made a wonderful tool to collect data to advance studies related to mental aging.

[@internetguru4737]

What’s sad about it? Young people like myself simply find a better investment of time bathing in valuable information that the internet has to offer, compared to just cold-talk so called “discussions” that is nothing more than people talking about themself’s and life situation that no one gives a crap about anyways.

[@internetguru4737]

@@mellstardust2782 Look, I’m not justifying anything. I’m just telling my experience of having friends who have stagnated in life, and only finds pleasure in hedonism. If people want to save time and energy over for studying, but at the same time get exposed to connection that human beings need, Then why should this technology be anything to despise? How can you judge someone so ignorantly?

[@greenghost6416]

If people would stop using social media they would heal.

[@nancycelitans8706]

They are amazing and would definitely purchase one ..this was an excellent vlog..enjoyed immensely..🤗🤗

[@81Jamming]

Thanks for giving such innovative information 😊

[@susanxiong8020]

I need this in my life! They are so adorable!

[@wileydaalv478]

So Amazing I want one😍. Thanks for that incredible video. Japan has so much amazing things. I would love to one day go and experience it all. 🥰🥰

[@christinecoppola2745]

Hey cousin! So cute!! I totally would get one of them! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@baijixia1812]

Kawaiiiiineeeee... So cuuuuuteeeee😍😍😍😄😘😘😘😘

[@tabiec3po]

This is so cool! I want one so bad!

[@Isabella1680]

This cute robot is so adorable, I'd totally buy it, but I guess I would see it as very interactive toy rather.

[@tabiec3po]

Also that outfit on you is perfect!🌼

[@anakirola9204]

Amazing 🤓 They are soooo Adorable ❤️

[@tcullum]

Impressive. It's quite expensive at over $2,700 USD in addition to a monthly fee of $83-$184.

[@alkalinewater3031]

Thomas Cullum wow that is expensive. How do you charge it?

[@cherylmedeiros6287]

What was the monthly fee for?

[@arika5067]

alkaline water it charges itself

[@tcullum]

@@cherylmedeiros6287 It didn't really say. There were different levels, though.

[@CamilleLMacLean]

Wow, expensive! Why the monthly fee?

[@lani8398]

I need them with totoro outfits!!

[@lindatannock]

Wow! These things are incredible! And cute, of course 😁😍

[@KellyMorita]

right!? Loved them!

[@yukiasiandream7483]

Love them I want one when it comes out

[@merlokiii]

Super interesting, thanks! Could you do more videos about AI and new technologies in Japan?

[@crissy9866]

They were so cute !!

[@rondal7316]

This is so cute I love it😀

[@kevinneilvarias3792]

Great video! I’m sure this could help lots of people.

[@lovebunny2345]

This is such a cute video! More videos like these please! You are both such a cute couple too.

[@squishiette]

I think this is great for people who live alone :) To me this is a next level stuffed toy. Because i know it's not comparable to a living pet. But a toy that is a bit more interactive and make u feel less alone.

[@silverstorm1000]

I’d have to pick up Lemon. I couldn’t resist 😭

[@Mimihomestyle]

I want one! I love the sweet eyes! Ryuji would be great with twins! Lol

[@TheTishbite]

At first it may seem weird or not for good. But it is no difference than the lonely person watching ours of movies on TV or a person trying to find interaction on line. I also wonder what societies and cultures this would be accepted. Japan probably yes as you said at the first of the video. I can see potential for abuse in many ways. Bottom line is it healthy? Does it create dependency? What are the unintended problems this could create? Lots of questions. I've heard of technology that helped and taught people how to interact with others. But that technology was a way of teaching and an intermediate solution, not a permanent fix. Great video.

[@rhianl6026]

I think if this were promoted as to combat loneliness it would put people off. There's still a stigma around feeling lonely and admitting to it, so I'd personally be worried I'd look desperate buying one, which could add to feelings of withdrawal and loneliness.

[@rhianl6026]

@YoshiPeach Mario my point is more if it is advertised as for loneliness then everyone knows it is for loneliness, but if it is advertised as a robot pet it's not as taboo

[@sashizakura9124]

@@rhianl6026 But that’s your problem. Plenty of people are comfortable admitting the reality that they feel lonely sometimes , and that a little robot like this would be cool and fun to have around! If your own personal embarrassment at how it’s marketed would stop you from buying it, you’re only limiting yourself.

[@user-lw5px1fh3t]

I can see ur point

[@beelzemobabbity]

@@sashizakura9124 it doesn’t really matter though. Why limit audiences marketing it as a loneliness only thing when it can be a pet

[@mingotproductions1335]

they should advertise lke a tamagotchi like thing in the west

[@mooncake4371]

They’re SOOO CUTE!!!! I need one!

[@taylorbosak7985]

I find it really hard to get my friends to spend time with me for some reason, and pets are high maintenance, so I can see myself owning a Lovot. They're really cute!

[@aria.3623]

I just found your channel and I just want to tell you that you are so beautiful! Good content too btw

[@tiapesi2738]

I need this cute little th8ng in my life. I am sure ut will help me with my panicattacks and depression. It is great that something like this is developed. But they will probably be so expensive. If they would send my one I would be so lucky! I would never feel alone. What a great invention!

[@Na2Ocean]

Cool! I wonder if Watillas and Dreamachines are next....

[@giabaohotran9136]

So cute😀

[@al5593]

Ooh i would love to have one

[@pea2911]

hi great video! thanks do you know what the monthly fee is for? does it need a wifi connection to work? what happens if the manufacturer goes out of business (like the current problems for Anki's Vector) the website says there's a monthly fee, but doesnt explain what that fee is for. thanks again :)

[@cademancaden]

I would love to get one for my mom. She's lonely without my dad.

[@plushieangela]

:O soooo cute!

[@shelovechan]

This reminds me of black mirror. As a kid robots were my biggest fear. I don’t know if I’m prepared for the future.

[@Wintergirl9692]

Omg, I want one! Lol

[@jp23764]

Your videos also cure loneliness!

[@DSON89]

We humans can bond with anything we like.

[@manuelagmz107]

Humans feel lonely...all 7 billion of them...

[@hisokamorow1994]

yes???? that was kind of implied--

[@user-uj4eq4zu8r]

ケリーさん、世界に向けてラボットの可愛さ を発信してくださってありがとうございます😊

[@AKB_48]

I also have pet allergies. I realize how many people have either a cat or dog ! It's a huge amount ~~

[@juliashenandoah3965]

Boston Dynamics Cheetah or Big-Dog pneumatic leg walking behaviour could create very realistic movement for your robot pet, and it would be even able to get up on it´s own when it falls over sometimes. With this technology more interesting movement of this robot would be possible.

[@kenzie___]

Wow I've never seen anything like Lovot!

[@annaszeptycka2199]

OMG! Really cute

[@christinebrown8586]

I want one!

They'd be great for elderly or shut ins.

I wanna get one to see what my dogs reaction is! 😂

They're so cute but I'll be adopting two pets once we move!
