Busy lifestyles require pet owners to spend a lot of time away from home, so the 'Sego' pet companion robot is designed as an effective way to maintain a pet's wellness at all time.
The 'Sego' robot works by being remotely controlled by pet owners via their smartphone in order to provide cats and/or dogs with food, entertainment and companionship. This is achieved thanks to the 'Sego' robot's intuitively designed figure that can navigate a home environment with ease and dispense food and treats as required or desired.
The 'Sego' pet companion robot takes robotics in a different direction when it comes to pets; while technology brands previously offered robots as pets the market is shifting to offer robots for pets in order to support consumers who still want live animals.
