Ludens AI launches crowdfunding for "INU" desk companion robot

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Ludens AI has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kibidango for "INU," a dog-shaped companion robot designed for desks. The robot responds to touch and interaction with sounds, facial expressions, and body movements, without speaking. Developed in collaboration with Yukai Engineering, INU features a Magic Key to disable sensors and utilizes onboard AI processing for its "Klara OS" and "Klara VLA" software, with Wi-Fi only required for an app-based journaling feature. The campaign aims to ship units by February 2027, with early bird pricing starting at ¥29,800 for a limited edition of 50 units. AI

IMPACT This desk companion robot integrates onboard AI for interactive features, potentially signaling a trend in personalized AI-driven consumer electronics.

RANK_REASON Product launch of a consumer robot, not a frontier AI model release.
