'Moflin had a really warm and fuzzy moment' – a week with the robot pet that wriggled and squeaked its way into my heart

Moflin, from Casio, is a robot pet that looks similar to a guinea pig. It's equipped with various sensors so it can respond when it's being stroked or cuddled, plus actuators and a speaker so it can move, chirp, and squeak as you interact with it. It's compact, cuddly, cute, and delivers all the fun of owning a pet but without the need to ever have to empty a litter tray.

These aren't just fleeting responses, either. Moflin remembers how you spend your time together, and over time it develops a distinct "personality", unlocking extra sounds and movements as its character develops. According to Casio, it will even learn to recognise and respond to your voice.
