Your next pet might not need food, a leash, or even a heartbeat. Sounds strange? It’s already happening—and people are loving it.
Meet Champak, a robot dog from BCCI who’s become a fan favorite at IPL matches. He walks, plays, and even interacts with players and fans.
But Champak isn’t alone. All over the world, robot pets are getting smarter and more lifelike. They can recognize faces, respond to touch, and even learn to ‘love’.
These robo-pals are perfect for busy city life—no poop bags, no allergies, no stress. They’re also great for seniors and kids, offering emotional support without the worry of real pet care.
Some popular ones on the market include Sony’s Aibo, the playful MarsCat, and the emotional Lovot. They can cost from ₹42,000 to ₹2.45 lakh, but many say they’re worth every penny.
From cheering at cricket games to comforting Alzheimer’s patients, robot pets are proving they’ve got heart—even if it’s not flesh and blood. With the market set to hit $4.5 billion by 2030, one question remains: Would you bring one home?
