Your Future Pet - a Robot Dog?

Ask a Question

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55770190

I can see the benefits of having robotics around, but I prefer my pets to be cuddly (although I’m sure that’s doable with robots too)

would you get a robot pet?

There would be some advantages. You could just turn it off when you go on holiday or some people with health problems have to give up loved pets as they can no longer look after them I'm sure that would not be problem with robo dog

Indeed. I reckon if you need a dog for assistance, it’ll do the job nicely. You don’t have to worry about random people trying to pet your dog also

It’ll definitely have its uses. I’m sure someone will make costumes for robo pets one day to dress them up 😊

Lol that’s what I would do. I suppose you could make it whatever breed you want - I’d probably go for a fluffy poodle to cuddle up to 😊

I definitely prefer the real thing lol! And it’s a shame that so many things are being taken over by robots. Pet robots are a no go for me!
