KEYi TechLOVOT 3.0
LOVOT exists for one thing: to be loved. It's warm to the touch, follows you around the house, asks to be picked up and recognizes every family member. In Japan it's a phenomenon with its own cafés, and there are studies on its effect on emotional wellbeing.
The price is serious: about $3,900 for the robot plus a mandatory subscription that over three years can exceed the cost of the LOVOT itself. And buying outside Japan means checking with Groove X first. The purest companion robot in existence, with the steepest toll.
