Ortomi Generation 4 Electronic Pet

[@johnny14794]

I own a the Gen 3 and Gen 4. They are cool little bots. I keep them with me all the time. Note: in order for these bots to do their other reactions you must let them be and not touch them. As for the firmware updates, you will need a PC. There is an update firmware out that fixes some minor issues on the Gen 4 Ortomi. Both Gen 3 and 4 have wifi in them and if not mistaken the Gen 4 also has bluetooth. Seems that the board used is an ESP32 Pico variant/custom PCB board.

[@outsider238]

Thank you for the excellent information! I don't think I'll be able to do the updates since Chrome Books don't seem to be able to work with them unfortunately.

[@Kevin-Kx]

it'd be cool if they got a mic at some point, so you could talk to them and such!

[@outsider238]

They seem to be evolving with each model. I'm guessing they'll get more sophisticated as time goes on. 😁

Those look fun! I still love my Cozmo!

I always want to Cozmo but my dad said no, so I only have a emo😢

[@outsider238]

@514arif It's okay. Emo is really all you need. The company that owns Cozmo has not been around for months so I don't know if Cozmo will continue to keep working.

how cute! same features as my aibo ers 210! like emotions, except aibo is just more interactive, and moves! Such a cute robot for it's price

I had a blue gen 3 and two gen 4s one being also blue and the other green, but I lost the green one, I hope I can find it somewhere

[@goingup6098]

These sound just like Tamagotchi pets.

[@outsider238]

They do sound similar.

[@zockeromi1970]

they are cute for sure

[@Excalibur2112]

Very neat its like stylophone I think.

[@outsider238]

I like that they make sounds now! 😁😄

[@magicalp0wers788]

They're so cute

[@maryannlamb5695]

They're very cute, but I'll stick to our V2s for now.

[@outsider238]

Yeah and they'll probably come out with even more sophisticated versions in the future.

[@Yipper64]

not charged when you get them? That seems like a mistake. Batteries last the longest at 50% that's why you usually get devices halfway charged.

[@outsider238]

I thought that was odd as well. The switches were left in the On position. Maybe there's restrictions for shipping these out from Australia.

[@MachinaGirlRobots]

Had to get two. One for me, one for my daughter. I literally got the same colors! Lol.

[@outsider238]

Oh! Haha!! I love these little guys. They're simple but cute and charming. I'm glad you got one for each of you! 😁

[@jessicakremidas4933]

I’ve been following these for a year now, but haven’t taken the plunge of purchase! Both of my daughters are interested, and so am I, however; being blind, it would be beneficial if they made different sounds that would go along with the various emotions being expressed! I hope that is an update in the future

[@outsider238]

That would be a great update!

[@funniegaminstuff]

3:23 the ortomi 3 has a 500MAH battery, i dont know for the ortomi 2 or 1, but 500MAH is pretty small so it will lose battery over time, so yeah, hope that helps! also, i want to address how you can open an ortomi 3-4, for the third gen, gently push the screen until the back comes off (this will damage the glue) and then you can get to the ortomi, for the 4, i dont have one on hand but there is a seal in the front, you probably need to push some area til it opens (if theres glue it will be damaged)

[@outsider238]

I did open one of these to look inside. Surprisingly simple inside! 😀

[@funniegaminstuff]

@@outsider238 i was surprised it was just a screen, pcb and battery

[@outsider238]

​@@funniegaminstuffYes! Pretty crazy!

[@GustavoVilla-vs5jo]

I love this

[@joninapepperell1151]

The battery is not normally allowed to be shipped charged that's why they where switched on I think x

[@outsider238]

That makes sense. I know rules for shipping things with batteries are different everywhere.

[@legacyoftheancientsC64c]

Its very cute but at $70 its a bit of a hard sell, although I understand that they are a small company so its understandable.

[@outsider238]

Yeah I think the price will scare a lot of people away. But it is a nice alternative if someone doesn't want to or can't get get the more expensive robot pets.

[@airmanon7213]

​@@outsider238 Yeah, EMO, if I recall correctly, was around $300 when I ordered mine, and unlike Ortomi, I don’t think I can bring EMO with me to work.

[@funniegaminstuff]

@@outsider238 maybe but no was the final thing they said after posting that they ware gone do it. Also they used to 3d-print the ortomi case and assemble it them selfs but now it sounds like they out source every thing. Also warning the new cable do not transfer data, so you can't update them with that one but the old one of the 3 does have data transfer.
