AIBI Pocket is Living.AI’s newest AI pet robot, following their previous model, EMO. It’s designed to provide companionship and emotional interaction, making it ideal for entertainment. Smaller and more portable than EMO, the AIBI Pocket fits easily into a pocket, making it convenient to carry around. It was initially unveiled in November last year and is currently available for pre-order at a price of $249.

The features and capabilities of the AIBI Pocket include:

• Face and Voice Recognition. AIBI Pocket can recognize your face and voice, responding accordingly. For example, you can command AIBI to take a photo with a voice command.
  
• Care Needs. AIBI requires care similar to that of a child, such as comforting it to sleep, feeding it, and caressing it when it feels sad.
  
• Alarms, Reminders, and Weather Reports. AIBI actively assists with tasks like waking you up, reminding you to take medication, and reporting the weather through lively animations indicating rain, snow, hail, or clear skies.
  
• Rotating AI Camera. AIBI’s head can rotate freely like a pan-tilt camera, locking onto and tracking moving objects in real-time.
• Voice Commands and ChatGPT Integration. AIBI supports both offline commands and online queries. Without internet, it understands basic commands, and for complex queries, it connects to ChatGPT for answers.
  
• Millimeter Wave Radar. This radar allows AIBI to detect human presence from a distance.
• Triple Microphone Array. Integrated into AIBI’s small head, this array helps it precisely determine sound direction and recognize commands.
• Near-field Communication. AIBI units can exchange information, like adding each other as friends, thanks to the built-in near-field optical communication in their backs.

Comparison between AIBI Pocket and Emo:

Emo is a desktop pet robot released by Living.AI in 2020, currently priced at $279. Compared to Emo, AIBI Pocket differs in design, mobility, and intended use:

• Design. AIBI Pocket is more compact and portable, designed to be carried in a pocket. Emo, on the other hand, is larger and primarily intended for desktop use.
• Mobility. AIBI Pocket does not have autonomous movement capabilities, whereas Emo can move freely around on a desktop.
• Use Cases. AIBI Pocket is suitable for users who want to interact and be entertained by an AI pet anytime and anywhere. Emo is more suited for stationary settings like homes or offices, serving as an interactive desktop pet.
