Pets have surged in popularity amongst consumers spending more time at home over the past several years but still aren't suited for many lifestyles, which is where the Macroact 'Maicat' aims to help fill the void. The robotic cat companion maintains a friendly design that will automatically make its way around a living space thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous technologies alike. The robot will recognize when its owner needs some emotional support thanks to voice pattern, facial and emotional recognition technologies.
The Macroact 'Maicat' will take care of its own maintenance by charging itself up when required and naturally never requires feeding or for its litter box to be changed. The robot positions itself as being great for both individuals and families alike.
