AI robot may stop your dog from barking while you're gone

If your dog starts barking the second you walk out the door, leaving home can come with a little extra guilt.

That can happen whether you live in an apartment or a house.

A pet camera can show you what is happening, but watching from your phone does little when your dog reacts to every sound outside or gets anxious when you are gone.

WIM-Z wants to take a more active role.

The small tracked robot uses on-device artificial intelligence to watch your dog and respond to certain behaviors.

Once the robot is in position, it can identify your dog, detect barking and decide when to reward calmer behavior with a treat.

You can also speak through the robot and drive it around your home from your phone.
