According to MarsBit’s technology update, a “robot companion” product has entered presale and recorded 3,800 presale orders in 10 days. The product is described as having male and female versions: the male model wears a fitted suit, while the female model can be made up. It is also equipped with a “cultivation-style” emotional large model, emphasizing its companion-oriented design.
The report states that purchases are restricted to adults. Industry voices cited in the item said ethical risks should be noted as robot companions enter consumer settings, particularly in relation to emotional interaction, adult-only access and humanlike design. The available item centers on presale volume, appearance settings, the emotional model and the purchase restriction.
