If you thought robotic pets peaked with Tamagotchis then check out the Xiaomi CyberDog 2, a digital dog that has my own pooch looking slightly embarrassed.
The original CyberDog didn't really resemble man's best friend but the freshly announced follow-up definitely has a more canine profile. More specifically, it resembles a Doberman in both the shape of its head and its gait, albeit standing slightly smaller at 36cm tall and less heavy when it jumps on your lap, at just 8.9 kg.
The CyberDog 2 is literally full of tricks, such as backflips and press-ups but it is something that no fluffy dog could ever achieve that has us fascinated. It can change colour.
