Going back to work doesn’t mean you can’t play with your pet. Rocki is a robot controlled by a smartphone that allows you to interact with your pets from anywhere you have internet access. Connect with Rocki using the iOS or Android app, then start chasing your pet, teasing it with a laser pointer and rewarding it with delicious treats.
I was curious how my dog Luna, a 5-year-old pug / boston terrier mix, would react to Rocky. At first, Luna was skeptical and a little jumpy when Rocky moved, but as soon as she realized she had treats, she became obsessed and did not lose sight of him.
Control Rocki away from the home of a 5G the network works very well. I experienced the same delay between controls and movement as when I was in the same room as the device. However, in a slower network, the delay was so bad that it was almost unusable. If you are still waiting for 5G in your area, you may want to postpone the purchase of something like Rocki.
The Rocki battery can last for several days in standby mode, which allows you to connect to it and start playing when your mood hits. However, if your pet is like Luna and constantly scratches and barks, you may not be able to abandon him constantly. I need to get Rocky home when I’m home and get him where Luna won’t see me when I plan to use him. This is a funny surprise for Luna, but rather limits Rocky’s usefulness.
While Luna seems to enjoy Rocky, it may not be for all dog owners. If you have more than one dog, sending treats one by one can start a battle. Also, dogs that tend to panic when their owners leave home may see Rocky as another sign that their people are leaving.
Although it is designed to be enjoyed by both cats and dogs, cat owners are likely to benefit more from Rocki. At first, Luna was interested in the laser pointer, but I removed it because she was chewing it, and I was worried it would blind her. It just leaves me with a $ 250 treat dispenser that moves, and I have a feeling Luna isn’t playing with it as much as she is playing for treats.
