CES2020: Qoobo and Petit Qoobo, robot pillows in two sizes




CES 2020: The big takeaways from tech's weirdest trade show. (NBC News, 1/10/2020)
Imagine a pillow covered in cat fur and a wagging tail and you have the Petit Qoobo.
The smaller sibling to Qoobo, the headless robot cat, is small enough for people to take the furry companion with them everywhere they go. Once you get past its lack of a head (minor detail!), the Petit Qoobo shares similar traits to real-life felines. It moves its tail to react to touch and can mimic meows and purrs. Petit Qoobo is currently a concept, but its larger sibling, the Qoobo, costs $149 on Amazon.




Amazon reviewer put off by "disturbing mechanical sounds".
