Artificial intelligence<\/a> could soon start replacing household pets \u2014 no vet bills required.<\/p>\n

As various types of robots continue to hit the market, AI-powered “animals” have arrived on the scene as well.<\/p>\n

One example is Go1, the world\u2019s first intelligent quadruped robot “companion” that is developed by China’s Unitree Robotics.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The robotic sidekick walks on all fours, much like a dog<\/a> \u2014 but there\u2019s no need for a collar or a leash.<\/p>\n

Go1\u2019s walking movements involve stability control, gait generation, motion control, navigation and obstacle avoidance, as well as learning and adaptation through AI, Unitree Robotics said in an email to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Go1 can follow the speed of its owner \u2014 whether the owner is traveling on a bike, on a skateboard or on foot \u2014 at up to 10 miles per hour, according to the company.<\/p>\n

MIKO, THE AI ROBOT, TEACHES KIDS THROUGH CONVERSATION: \u2018VERY PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The robotic pet<\/a> has a super-sensing system that includes several fisheye binocular sensors and human recognition capabilities.<\/p>\n

These enable it to follow its owner\u2019s lateral peripheral vision.<\/p>\n

The company describes the robot\u2019s power joint design as “ultra-lightweight and low noise.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Go1’s total weight is about 26 pounds \u2014 and it can hold loads of up to 11 pounds, the company also says.<\/p>\n

For people who prefer smaller “pets,” LivingAI in China has developed EMO, a tiny AI-powered desktop pet.<\/p>\n

The nearly 5-inch-tall robot is described as a mobile, expressive pet that can react to its owner with more than 1,000 facial expressions and movements, according to the website.<\/p>\n

Using AI tech, the robot explores its surroundings, makes decisions on its own and interacts with its human.<\/p>\n

Similar to a real pet, EMO evolves over time \u2014 in this case, through advanced internal sensors and AI processing models that give the little robot the ability to learn, communicate and “bond,” according to the LivingAI website.<\/p>\n

EMO also can be programmed to turn on lights, set alarm clocks and celebrate special events such as birthdays and holidays, the company says.<\/p>\n

Dr. Harvey Castro, a Dallas, Texas-based<\/a> board-certified emergency medicine physician and national speaker on AI in health care, weighed the pros and cons of the emergence of AI pets in a conversation with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

While robotic pets offer continuous companionship, low maintenance, elimination of allergy exposure and even mental health support, AI “companionship” can also be limiting, Castro said.<\/p>\n

“AI pets cannot replicate the complex and rich experience of caring for a real animal,” said Castro.<\/p>\n

“Unlike real pets,” he added, “AI pets don\u2019t encourage owners to engage in physical activity<\/a>, like walking or playing.”<\/p>\n

Castro also mentioned the potential risks related to data privacy and dependency on AI pets for companionship \u2014 which could lead to the neglect of real-life relationships, he said.<\/p>\n

“The long-term psychological and emotional effects of having AI pets, especially on children, are yet to be fully understood,” Castro said.<\/p>\n

The robotic pets “present a unique, beneficial alternative for companionship and can play a role in improving mental health<\/a>,” he added.<\/p>\n

“However, they should be seen as a partial replacement for real pets,” Castro said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As AI technology advances, we must continuously evaluate the benefits and risks associated with AI pets.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
