Ropet's sole mission is to love and be loved. Think of it like a living plushie; it has a personality, will listen to your deepest darkest secrets without judgement, and will reach out to hug you when you're sad. Its appearance is customizable and has optional ChatGPT integration, so it's there if you want it for advanced conversations with the robot but you're not forced into it.
Ropet can identify and bond closely with its owner, but it will remember other people too. All of this data is stored and processed locally, meaning it never leaves the device itself. If you don't trust that, you can keep Ropet entirely disconnected from the internet, and it'll still be capable of performing all of its functions.
If you pet or cuddle it, its expression will change to visible happiness. Or, it might look grumpy if you shake it around. Show it one of the few dozen objects it knows, and you'll see an emoji of that pop up in its eyes. You can give it the 'shush' sign to quiet it down, and it'll dance along if you're listening to music.
Ropet brought unexpected childlike glee to this burnt-out gremlin for a few minutes. Emotional companion robots are a ubiquitous presence at CES, but the ones that actually have some degree of smarts are not usually so snuggleable.
