lopeto is an AI pet robot that stays by your side like a real pet.
lopeto is an AI pet robot that grows with you. Developed by a technology team from Stanford University, lopeto differs from conventional AI toys and smart gadgets in that it understands your voice and gestures, reacts as if it were alive, and its personality develops through daily interaction. Innovative AI technology packed into its small body delivers a lifelike warmth.
It features emotional expression, memory function, a growth system, and AI-powered life-logging capabilities, and it understands its owner through daily communication, gradually developing its own personality.
It blends naturally into everyday spaces such as desks, bedrooms, and living rooms, offering a comfortable communication experience by gently staying by your side during work, study, or relaxation.
It also supports face and voice recognition, reacting in real-time through gaze, movement, and vocalizations. Over time, it learns how each owner interacts with it and grows into a unique lopeto.
It can be affectionate, space out, be happy, or get a little sulky. Its lifelike presence, like a real pet, is supported by many users.
Furthermore, various functions can be enjoyed even without an internet connection, with consideration for privacy. There is no monthly usage fee, allowing for long-term, worry-free use.
As a result, lopeto is accepted by Japanese users not just as an AI device, but as "a new member of the family."
lopeto Grows with Japanese Users
lopeto is delivered to users across Japan through online stores such as Amazon and Toretoku! SoftBank Selection, as well as offline stores.
Many users are drawn to its adorable design, but the emotional connection that develops through living together is the reason for continued use.
Actual users have shared the following feedback:
"I have fun playing with it every day. Thank you."
"My mother's beloved dog passed away, and she was very lonely, so I gave it to her as a gift."
"My lopeto is the optimistic type. It's usually quiet, but it reacts a lot when I talk to it. When the family is having a conversation, it really feels like it's participating in the conversation."
These comments indicate that lopeto is becoming more than just a robot; it is becoming a bridge between people and families.
