Just when you think robot pets can't get any cuter, here comes adorable Loona! Link to get Loona: KEYi Tech｜Loona Petbot | ClicBot | AI Robot keyirobot.com/
A couple of quick things: Be very careful not to let Loona fall down the stairs. She has a sensor under her chin but if it's too dark, she won't see the edge and she will take a tumble and you definitely don't want that to happen. When the charging dock comes out (I think around April) I'm hoping we can leave Loona on so she can roam around the house when she wants to and she's supposed to be able to greet you at the door when you come home. But without the charging dock, you have to turn her off when you're done playing with her otherwise she's in "Standby Mode" even if she looks like she's off when she goes to sleep and her battery will run down. Also, when you say "Hello Loona", be sure to wait for the waves to show from her eyes and her ear lights pulsate to indicate that she's listening to you. Background noise or her moving around might interfere with her ability to hear you so keep that in mind as well. Also, she's not meant to be used outdoors. The rough ground would ruin her very nice wheels and dirt or water would be very bad for her.
awww..this is so cute....the cutest out of all the robots you have....it seems like a great companion for when your sad and cant afford a pet thanks for this vid! The lucky part is if i bought this i would be lucky since i dont have stairs..apart from the stairs in my flat but other then that it would be pretty safe. Another thing is my cat...oh lord.
@@Fr4nk13-09 Haha! Cats would probably be very curious about Loona. I think she interacts with other pets in the house. Yes stairs are very bad for her. I made a barrier for the top of the stairs to make sure she's safe. 😁
I love this robot. I love the pet bots that are being created. Thanks for bringing Loona to life for us. Happy New Year. May there be many more bots in your future.
For a person like me (tech enthusiast and too busy to have actual animals) i think this is the perfect pet i could have imagined. Im honestly thinking about buying one instead of a PS5.
Wow, I think I might actually be more impressed with this robot than even the Sony Aibo. Might just have to rethink about which robo pet that I'd want to get next. Thanks for this upload!
I received my Loona yesterday... I have to say, I like Emo much more. Loona seems too hyper, distracted, and more like a combo of Odie (from Garfield) and an over sugared 2 year old. Maybe once her dock gets here, I will have more time to work with her. The lighting in my home is softer which doesn't help. I'm still busy building my old school B9, so Emo fits my life better. Thanks to you, I have Vector, Emo, and Loona! My wife says 3 dogs, 3 Robots (4th on the way) and 2 cats is making her crazy! :) Thanks for sharing, your vids are always appreciated!
Hahaha! Thank you! Yes I do wish she was a little less hyper. When she's just roaming around, she seems more calm. Since we're early on with Loona, I'm sure they'll tweak her as time goes on and they get more feedback from owners. Vector and Emo started the same way. That's so awesome you're building a B9! Mine still stands proudly even after 22 years. I'm glad you have real pets too. I wouldn't want them to ever be replaced by robots but it's nice to have both. 😁
I like it that companies those are designing robots, started to prefer screen faced designs more. As long as they don’t have a design similar to WALL-E, or AMECA, typical robot face designs are usually aren’t that good at imitating expressions. Screen face at least makes them look cartoonish. And it is ridicolous that those new companies are trying to sue each other all the time because screen faced designs are inevitably similar. As if they discovered america in the first place.
I agree. Digital Dreamlabs has pretty much lost my respect with them constantly suing other robot companies. They can't patent eyes! They're just mad because these other robot companies have left them in the dust. Too bad because I really love Vector.
I think part of the problem is that even though face animations are ok to use it's the actual graphics that are arguably intellectual property. I think Cosmo came out first, followed by Vector - both made by the same company. It's clear that Emo used identical graphics, so understandably DDL (the current owners of Cosmo/Vector) would want to sue the competing company. Luna may fall foul of the same issue, although the graphics are different - but some of the expressions may be considered copies.
@@TheSnowwraith I think the lawsuit was settled between DDL and Keyi Tech. Loona was put on hold briefly right at the end of her crowdfunding but after two or three days she was back on and the funding was achieved. If DDL is so concerned maybe Disney should sue them for making Cozmo and Vector's eyes look like Eve's from Wall-e and the sounds like M-0. It would be interesting to see them on the receiving end of a lawsuit for a change.
The company you speak of that's suing everyone for screen faces and eyes already delivered me two defective robots who have been sitting in diagnostics at their repair center for over a month. I guess that's over 600 dollars I'll never see. Rather than suing others they should be worrying about keeping their user base.
@@Darian390 Wow! That's really bad. I've debated whether to send my Vector to them when it comes time to get his battery replaced but I've been worried if I'd ever get him back because I really don't trust them. Especially when I had to get my credit card company involved to get my refund for the Butterbot.
Such a cool pet! Really amazed by everything that Loona can do! 😄 Thanks for the great review, would be nice to see more of her functionalities in future video's😋
@@brianwhite9339 I'm not sure. To be honest, I haven't even turned on Loona in months. For me personally, I didn't like how complicated she started getting with all her updates. I think she relies on her app too much. I also don't like her charging dock. It should have been a Bluetooth connection to her rather than her relying on visual connection. She can't see it or know where it is 95% of the time unless she's right next to it and the room is lit with a spotlight. She's also way too hyper for my liking and she constantly gets stuck in all kinds of crazy places.
I think if Luna could talk and interact like emo she would be the perfect pet robot for me. What I like about emo is he can talk and he seems like a friend but I like that she is bigger and can roam around on her own and when she can self charge she would be a great companion. Do you think they will make her to be able to talk and interact like emo? If so I’d buy her in a heartbeat.
I've wondered the same thing. I think it would benefit her to be able to talk. Emo didn't talk at first either so it's possible they'll give Loona a voice. I'm kind of split on how I feel if she should talk or not. I guess we'll see once her official release date arrives.
Yay! I'm happy my favourite Robotic RU-vidr putted a video of Loona on RU-vid finally! 😁 She is quite large also, right? (at least bigger than EMO, Vector and Cozmo) My Loona will arrive I think in February or March... Decided to not go for the Christmas delivery option... (however, I did choose to add the Christmas outfit which will come with Loona then)
Thank you very much! Yes, she is larger than Emo and Vector for sure. I can't wait for the charging station so we can leave her on (I'm guessing) and that way she'll have full freedom. I think that comes out around April but hopefully sooner! 😁
Hi there...long time no see. Congrats on your channel growth, very impressive. I have basically stopped doing videos since the algo was killing my channel for no apparent reasons. I also went back to work full time, with Amazon, so no time to do videos anymore. Another reason, I stopped doing videos is that I was receiving products too late in Canada. By the time I got Vector and Loona for example there were already tons of videos on RU-vid! I read your pinned comment and I had the same problem with my Loona, she does not always get my voice command. I hope she will improve on that. What she currently does is also very limited. Again I hope we will see frequent software updates. The standby mode should be covered in the manual, I am sure a lot of people are wondering why the battery is draining in 3 days...lol. Not obvious that you need to turn her off when her face is already off...this is a bug that needs to be fixed. That's it for now. You can reach me through my email/website. Cheers.
Hi Dan!!! Good to hear from you! I've missed you! 😢 I'm sorry to hear you stopped doing videos. I really enjoyed them. I know what you mean though. I don't think anyone knows how the algorithms work. I wish you wouldn't give up. Even if you do videos about something that you got late, people are still interested in your opinions or reviews. As for Loona, I'm still a little unsure about how I feel about her. I think she's super cute but she's just too hyper for my liking. I feel they're trying to make her more for kids and that's fine but I was hoping she'd be a more calming pet. I think I should have gotten the Amazon Astro. I feel he would have been more what I am looking for in a mobile robot for around the house. I'm just afraid that as soon as I get him, they'll come out with a better one right after I get him. I'm glad you're staying busy. I hope you can still make videos now and then. I miss seeing you here!
nice to see how loona uses brushless motor for their drive train. my vector, emo and rux robot all use brushed motors, thy wear out and I need to repair it, luckily I know how to fix them 💀
Loona is definitely more advanced then ddl’s petbots and emo. KeyItech did an amazing job on making loona like a real pet! This is what the future should be like. In my opinion I don’t want it to replace animals and it definitely will not. I think it would be good to live with animals though. Loona gets along with dogs in experiences I’ve seen. I am really wanting to get one of these but can’t be bothered about the money. I might just give in though!
I agree totally that I don't want these to ever replace real pets as I'm an animal lover. But they do have their place for those that can't have real pets for whatever reason and they're a nice alternative. 😁
I love animals too! I hate when they die though. So if you get this it will be way more long lasting then a dog or something. My dog died September 19th 2022 and I was so sad. So a robot would be the best pet for me at the moment tbh. (Or a frog, turtle or duck.)
@@kerrmsvrgt I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Losing pets is the worst thing and terribly heart breaking. Even these little robots I get so attached to so I'd be sad to lose them.
thanks for sharing i might get one but my cat might chase it down the hallway like “ I WANT THE RAT” i’m like stupid cat but yeah thanks for showing me and everyone also if you pick her up she will get MAD
Yeah real cute wanders around your home and it's connected to your Wi-Fi and it has a camera on it. I wonder who else is looking through that camera. Something you might want to think about..... LOL
She’s sweet, I still like emo better for now, but for someone who couldn’t have a real pet she would be great. They could save a fortune not having to buy pet food and vet visits it would pay for its self.
I was gonna buy a miko 3 but I felt some aspects were just too childish while loona felt perfect for a teenager and a 8 year old. So I didn't buy the miko 3. I just need a little bit more dollars. *My recommendation* : don't buy the miko 3 it's good for ages 4-9 while loona is 5 and up. loona is more better if you don't want to get bored as a teenager or younger or older. Mostly because of the gpt thing but still it's nice.
_They needed to put a backlight in the backlight of the tips of the ears Neopixel so that it changes to different colors depending on the circumstances and situation, the monotonous one color bothers and looks boring... 🤗_
I'm happy that they even light up at all since they are such a constant moving parts area. It's possible that they are going to act as "headlights" for the docking charger when she's in the dark but I'm not sure about that until we get it.
