Paro

萌到爆的宠物海豹——Paro

Want a pet but don’t want to clean up after it? This furry seal is a mix between Fido and your favorite stuffed animal. Covered in five types of sensors that detect light, touch, sound, temperature and posture, Paro knows when it’s being petted and cuddled, and even responds to its name. Paro also changes its behavior in response to its owner. For example, if the pet owner says Paro’s name while giving it a belly rub, Paro will remember what it did to deserve such a treat and will repeat that activity to earn another.

想要养一只小狗或者小猫但是妈妈却不让?嫌小狗小猫需要经常照料?试试Paro吧,它和真实的小动物一样有感知哦!说不定它比小狗小猫还要适合饲养呢,因为,它有特殊的探测系统,能探测光线、触摸、声音、温度和姿势,比小狗小猫聪明多了,还有,没有觉得它实在够萌吗?

Rovio

不在家时的必备机器人——Rovio

Rovio is a WiFi-enabled, camera-wielding robot that zooms around your home while you’re away. That way you can check up on your plants and other valuables ― perhaps, with luck, from some remote beach. This wheeled robot takes webcams to the next level and is equipped with a head-mounted camera, microphone and LED for seeing in the dark. It also has GPS, which lets you set waypoints(航路点), or routes in your home for the robot to travel. While it can’t climb walls to get a bird’s-eye view, the camera is attached to a moveable arm that can move up and down and sideways to give different viewing angles. Rovio can be controlled via a cell phone or computer from anywhere.

Rovio可不是一家开发大鸟游戏的公司(Rovio是开发《愤怒的小鸟》的游戏公司),它是一个实实在在的家用警察!配备了网络摄像头、GPS的Rovio,能按照你设定的路线在家中巡视,不放过任何可能的威胁,当然,说不定你还能用它来看些其他的,比如邻居家的MM?

Vgo

拥有鸣人的分身术——Vgo

The telepresence robot Vgo lets you be in two places at once. With this sleek robot ― 48 inches (1.2 meters) tall and about 16 pounds (7.3 kilograms) ― the user can see, hear, talk, interact and move around a remote location as if he or she were there. So you'd just sit down at your computer, rev up the bot and use its cameras and sensors to meander a remote place. Others will know it's you, as the robot's "face" is an iPad that displays your mug shot. It’s a little expensive for most personal budgets ($5,000 per bot); Vgo is mainly used in the office or as a training tool.

Vgo可以让你实现真正的分身!你的头像会显示在这个机器人的屏幕上,让你不需要到场,就可以和机器人所在地点的其他人进行交流。小编忽然邪恶地想到,这难道不是想翘课翘班人士的最佳利器吗?

Autom

减肥少女的好伙伴——Autom

Autom is a conversational robot that helps you lose weight. “She” talks to you in the morning about your eating and exercise plans for the day and gives you feedback and encouragement to keep you motivated. Just like a personal trainer, this female-voiced bot, developed by Hong Kong-based Intuitive Automata Inc., constantly adapts to what seems to work for its user. The company is currently taking pre-orders.

想减肥没有动力?试试看Autom吧!它能给你制定好锻炼计划和减肥食谱,在晚上报告你一天的减肥成果,不断地鼓励你。不过小编觉得,这机器人如果能长得更苗条美丽,说不定会对减肥的同学更加有刺激作用哦!

Litter-Robot

宠物清洁伴侣——Litter-Robot

Shaped like a dome, this litter box eliminates the need to scoop out your cats' waste. The system senses when the pet has left the litter box, waits seven minutes (enough time for the goods to clump), then rotates to filter out the stinky clumps and push them into a drawer below.

这个长得像摄像头的玩意居然是一个宠物垃圾清洁器?没想到吧!小编觉得,这个清洁器适合随身带着,因为小猫小狗通常都喜欢在家里以外的地方制造不干净的东西吧?

Pleo

 

最拉风的宠物恐龙——Pleo

While it’s not really useful, we couldn’t have a list of commercial bots without including this baby dinosaur. Pleo, the artificial pet, starts out as a newly hatched dinosaur and matures over time, showing all the signs of an infant, juvenile, and adult. Weighing 8.8 pounds (4 kilograms), Pleo is like a living, breathing pet as it gets hungry and tired, changes its mood, and feels urges to explore. Pleo sells for $469.

厌倦了养传统的小猫小狗的话,可以试试这个长相还算可爱的宠物恐龙,别小看它,它能从“婴儿一直长到成人”,当然,Pleo作为一个宠物,你自然还要照顾到它的饮食起居。
