What is a robodog?
A computer that walks with you.
A robodog is a personal robot with four legs. We’re developing it to walk with you, carry small essentials and remember your routines. You choose what it may remember.
SI — SuperIntelligence
It gets to know you.
Your appointments, running pace and small habits. You choose what it is allowed to remember.
It helps with daily tasks.
It brings your keys, reminds you to pause and lights your way home. Help that moves with you.
SI stands for SuperIntelligence. Our ambition for technology that understands your day and helps where you are.

Why we believe in robotic dogs
The next big thing has paws.
We believe robotic dogs could become one of this century’s most important products. A personal computer on four legs could help beyond the screen: at your door, out on the road and on the walk home.
- 01
The world came to your pocket. Now it comes to you.
A phone can call the robotaxi. Your dog meets you with your keys and takes the short walk to the station with you.

The ride leaves. Your little world stays.
The robotaxi drives away. Your medicine, charger and passport stay close in HOLD, the private space that travels with your dog.

When you need a hand, there are four paws.
Rain on the way? Your dog brings the umbrella, waits while you put on your coat and heads out beside you.

We already know how to love a dog.
For at least 15'000 years, dogs have found a place beside us. A look up at you. A familiar step nearby. That language needs no lesson.
15'000+ Years beside dogs

The small moments make a life.
A wake-up nudge, an extra lap, a reminder to drink, a quiet evening, a light on the last street. One day can hold all of it.
7 Moments in one day
- 06
One dog is enough. Your memory can come along.
Choose the size that fits your day. Your dog gets to know you. If you use another model later, THREAD should transfer only the memories you approve.
3 / 1 Bodies, one mind
How we imagine your day together
A whole day with someone.
Morning light. A lap outside. A quiet walk home. These scenes show what we want to build. Every dog should stay with you through the day; size and carrying capacity differ.
→Wake
06:45
Good morning, sleepyhead.
FIBI checks that the bed is clear, hops up and waits for your eyes to open. Your connected curtains let the morning in.
Briefing
07:00
Your keys. Your coffee. Your day.
FIBI tells you what comes first today and brings the keys you nearly left behind.
Coach
07:30
Come on. One more hill.
RIKO runs beside you with that ready-to-go energy. At the Vita Parcours, it calls the next exercise, counts your reps and reminds you to pause.
Organise
13:20
Passport? Right here.
Your chosen packing list gets a final check. Documents and charger travel beside you in HOLD.
Care
16:00
Hey. Have some water.
FIBI gives the gentle reminders you asked for: a drink, your medicine on schedule, teeth before bed, that call to Mum.
Comfort
20:40
It was a hard day. Come here.
FIBI settles close, warm eyes on you. Talk if you like. If words are too much, it simply stays.
Guardian
23:10
The street feels shorter now.
BRUNO walks at your side with a soft light ahead. If you need help, it can alert your chosen person under the rules you set.
Your personal memory · THREAD
It remembers the little things.
How you take your tea. Who you meant to call. When you’d rather have quiet. That’s why we’re building THREAD, your dog’s personal memory. You decide what stays.
- One dog should learn your routines and preferences.
- Choose its personal name and voice, and help shape its behaviour.
- You can review and delete stored memories.
RIKO, ready to head out
One more lap.
RIKO gets you out the door. It runs beside you, holds your pace and coaches every Vita Parcours station.
- 01
Find your rhythm
Easy run or quick interval? Pick the pace. RIKO is ready when you are.
- 02
Your next move
At the next Vita Parcours station, it tells you what is coming and where to start.
- 03
One more
RIKO counts the reps. You get to focus on the movement and that last little push.
- 04
Catch your breath
RIKO calls the pause between sets. You catch your breath. Then you go again.
Make memories with RIKO
You make the moment. Keep it.
Run, laugh, make something worth keeping. RIKO films through the cameras in its eyes, from dog height, finds the best cut and lets you choose what leaves the dog.
- 01
Frame
Ask for a low running shot, a portrait, or the view behind you.
- 02
Film with its eyes
Two stabilised cameras sit behind its eyes. A soft coral ring glows while it records.
- 03
Cut
Review a suggested edit from the clips you chose to keep.
- 04
Post
Approve the final file and its destination before it leaves the dog.
FIBI, close by
Love lives in the little things.
A pearl-bright face on your lap after a hard day. A nudge to drink water. A reminder that your medicine is due. FIBI makes care feel tender, never like a lecture.
- 01
Water
A small, friendly reminder when you ask for one.
- 02
Little rituals
Teeth before bed. Medicine on your schedule. FIBI keeps the promises you make to yourself close.
- 03
Come sit
FIBI hears the change in your voice and comes close. Talk to it, or simply sit together.

People
A small reminder to call someone you love. Your people remain your people.
Your personal compartment · HOLD
Everything you need, close.
Keys, a charger and the small things you take along. Your dog should carry them in a compartment you can lock. We call it HOLD. What fits depends on the model.

Your essentials come along
The ride leaves. You stay you.
A ride for today.
A robotaxi picks you up. Its seat, screen, and next journey belong to someone else.
Your own little place.
Your dog climbs in with your keys, medicine, documents and charger in HOLD. It opens with your approval.
The memories you choose.
THREAD keeps the memories you choose encrypted on your dog. Photos and clips leave only when you say so.
Owner access
Your authentication opens HOLD; a physical recovery path is there when you need it.
Local memory
Your private life log stays encrypted on the dog, without ambient cloud upload.
Visible camera
A separate light shows when the camera is active; a hardware mute controls microphones.
Chosen export
Selected media leaves only when you deliberately approve it.
BRUNO, the gentle giant
The safest feeling in the room.
Broad paws. Kind eyes. A calm step beside you in a new city or on the walk home. BRUNO carries your kit, lights the path and calls for help under your rules.
BRUNO →Take the next step
BRUNO reads the path, notices obstacles and stops at traffic edges.
Light the way
A soft light shows your next steps on a street or trail.
Keep distance
When someone comes too close, BRUNO stops, steps back and stays with you.
Only if you choose
Opt-in recording can give you a record to review. The camera shows when it is active.
Call help
You choose the contacts and emergency rules for an alert.
Guardian functions are in development and subject to testing and local law.

Meet BRUNOMade to feel close
The first hello is a touch.
Cool pearl, soft ears, a sure grip, a broad place to rest your hand. Each dog feels like itself.
Inside the family
Soft outside. Serious inside.
The planned layout puts SI, cameras, sensors and gentle actuators inside the soft forms. Every dog should have its own battery, personal compartment and dock.
The cutaways show planned constructions. Hardware and performance figures are development targets.
THREAD when you change models
A new dog. A familiar hello.
One dog is enough. If you choose another model later or pair a second dog, your personal memory should come along. THREAD transfers only what you explicitly approve.
- Your first dog should already have the full personal connection.
- Choose which memories go to another paired dog.
- Encrypted handoff between your paired devices, without a mandatory cloud account.
What we’re working towards
Little leaps. Big days.
A hop onto the bed. A sprint through the park. More kit on a longer journey. These figures describe our engineering goals. Prototype measurements are still pending.

Straight answers
The questions worth asking.
Can I buy a ROBODOG SI today?
Not yet. ROBODOG SI is a product concept in development. You can prepare an email request on the updates page, then send it yourself. This does not reserve a device.
When will the dogs be available?
There is no confirmed delivery date. We want to show progress and tests before announcing prices, reservations and delivery.
What will one cost?
A price has not been set. We’ll share it once the construction, manufacturing and included items are clearer.
Do I need more than one dog?
One dog is enough. All three models should get to know you, remember what you approve and stay with you through the day. Size, agility and carrying capacity are the main differences.
Can my dog have its own name?
FIBI, RIKO and BRUNO are model names. You should be able to give your own dog a personal name. Voice and behaviour are also part of the planned personal setup.
Where do my memories and recordings go?
We plan encrypted memory on your dog. You should be able to review and delete entries. A second dog receives only memories you approve; photos and videos leave through your deliberate export.
Will it be safe around children and other dogs?
We’re planning soft paws, limited joint force and obstacle sensing. Behaviour around children and animals must be tested in prototypes. No safety approval has been established yet.
How long will the battery last?
Development target per charge: up to 20 h for FIBI, 14 h for RIKO and 12 h for BRUNO. This assumes no more than 25% movement, light or no payload and room temperature. Measured runtimes are still pending.
Can it climb stairs and jump?
That is the plan. Unloaded targets under suitable conditions: a 60 cm hop for FIBI, a 1 m jump for RIKO and 1.2 m obstacle crossing for BRUNO. Navigation and surface and occupant checks still need testing.
What can BRUNO legally do as a guardian?
We plan path sensing, light, distance and alerts to your chosen contacts. Recording and alert functions need review before use. They are not a promise of personal safety.
Meet your companion.
