Dogbot Philya Was Developed by MAI Department of Robotics
The robot’s interface has a planning feature to remind the user of any scheduled meetings or other important matters. Besides, Philly’s body contains Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules along with a GSM modem. By the owners’ request, the robot-assistant can dial any number from the phone book from a list of contacts previously entered there.This kind of dogbot can be used at rehabs and clinics, children's health centers, residential care facilities, and private homes. The robot will become a good friend to people who cannot keep pets. On top of that, Philya can be used as an educational toy for kids, for example, for those who learn foreign languages, do crosswords or listen to audiobooks.Developers have not named the robot’s price yet, however, they emphasize the fact that it should be quite flexible and depend on the range of features the user needs. As dogbot designers pointed out, they are currently making arrangements with Moscow clinics to supply Philya bots to healthcare facilities.
