What kind of deal did you make with the people behind this product? It's not even shipping before March 2025, so what did the agreement say?

[@SamiLuo]

@@simonp37 Hi, thanks for commenting, as a tech reviewer I always get to test many tech products ahead of official launch, that's why you can see this :DD

[@simonp37]

@@SamiLuo Okay, but you didn't really answer the questions. There are only two reviews in the entire world so far. One from you and one from your friend.

[@TheNesianscribe]

@@simonp37 This is not unusual in the world of tech. They get to review first, companies usually send them free model.

[@simonp37]

@@TheNesianscribe What is unusual, is that two friends from the same city creates videos on the exact same day about the same product that isn't out yet. And it's the only 'reviews' on the entire internet. As a journalist, I know how this works.

Don't worry. ❤The ropet can work normally, interact with people and has the potential for growth without being connected to Wi-Fi. When connected to Wi-Fi, it will only upload some interactive points data and will not upload users' private data. If you are worried about this, you can use an eye mask provided by ropet, which can physically block the camera.

Great review, very thorough! I'm on the brink of buying. In my currency, it's around $350 but still more affordable than other a.i pets going for 1k-3k. I'm not allowed pets at my rental, and so I'm looking seriously at robot pet. I did a quick recon of other a.i pets. There's dogs that look scary, like the robot dogs the police and military will deploy. No way would I buy something like that. Then there's cutesy dogs that can move around, but I don't think they talk. The other pets are out of my budget, like Loona and Eibo. This one though...having a furry texture skin is important, bc you don't want to be stroking chrome or metal. The big expressive eyes are based on nature, which encourages you to interact, care for and protect an infant, and then there's the learning system. So yes, I think I have convinced myself to invest!

[@SamiLuo]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally get wanting an AI pet that feels approachable and natural. The furry texture and expressive eyes really set this one apart. Sounds like a great fit-let us know how it goes if you get it! 😊

I have been excited for this kickstarter launch. I backed him as soon as I could.

저 다채로운 표정과 초롱초롱한 눈망울이 너무 사랑스럽네요. 😍

[@elmaii_pebbles]

Is there an off button? For when you go on holiday for example

[@SamiLuo]

Not sure if they will add in their app later, but yeah, that's a good idea :D

[@alisonwebb3699]

Does it require Wi-Fi to use all the features, or can it work offline too? Can I turn off the camera when I'm not using it? Thanks!

[@PinkBinx]

The camera don’t take picture or make videos it just for face recognition

[@simonp37]

@@PinkBinx How do you know whether or not image and audio isn't being sent over the internet?

[@joyliu516]

The ropet can work properly, interact with people and has the ability to grow without being connected to Wi-Fi. When connected to Wi-Fi, it will only upload some interactive points data and will not upload users' private data. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to pass the privacy certification requirements of many countries. I just asked about it in a Facebook group.

[@simonp37]

@@PinkBinx How and who is processing the face recognition? Is it done in the device or sent to a server somewhere?

[@PinkBinx]

@@simonp37in the device , it don’t go online

[@simonp37]

I checked out your Kickstarter page. Not a single word about information security. Do you have a security concept? What is your data privacy and data protection policies and plans? Does it send images or audio over the internet? If so, what is it used for? Is it encrypted? If there a physical way to block or disconnect the camera? This is a data protection and privacy invasion nightmare, if people put this in their kids room or bed room.

@@joyliu516 I work with Information Security, so "don't worry" doesn't really cut it. Do you have a security concept? What is your data privacy and data protection policies? What are "interactive points data"? I assume the interaction includes gestures captured with the camera and voice captured by the microphone.

Made in china. What else do you need to know

[@alexandrab.bernal919]

Do they only come in white and we have to get the extra add ons if we want them in a different colour?

[@SamiLuo]

From I know, they have so many choices you can learn more from the link: tinyurl.com/RopetAIPetRobot

[@milkteanomnom]

Will ChatGPT be free for backers?

[@SamiLuo]

Yes

[@ola12345678912]

Can the Ropet be connected to two phones?

[@joyliu516]

For the time being, only one mobile phone can be connected to multiple ropets, but multiple mobile phones cannot be connected to one ropet.
