Ropet isn’t your typical walking, talking robot. Think of it more like an Amazon Echo Dot with personality. It’s motorized base allows its head to turn and face its user, while moving ears and LCD display “eyes” convey simulated emotions and reactions.
But Ropet is more than just cute. It’s powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, giving it the ability to engage in natural-language conversations.

Ropet’s capabilities extend beyond conversation. It boasts touch sensitivity, reacts to music, and even recognizes faces and objects, with a focus on identifying food.

He assures potential buyers that ropet will receive regular software updates based on user feedback.
The Ropet is currently available for pre-order on Kickstarter. Early-bird backers can snag the Ropet Basic for $169, while the Ropet Pro, which includes a charging base, is available for $189.
