Rocki the robot companion for pets kept my dog company (as long as it kept giving out treats)

Going back to work doesn’t have to mean you’ve got the option to’tplay with your pet.

Rocki is a smartphone-controlled robot that allows you to interact with yourpetsfrom anywhere you have access to the internet.

I was curious how my dog Luna, a 5-year-old pug/Boston terrier mix, would react to Rocki.

Controlling Rocki away from home on a5Gnetwork works really well.

However, on a slower web link, the latency was so bad it was pretty much unusable.

This makes for a fun surprise for Luna, but it does rather limit Rocki’s usefulness.

While Luna seems to be enjoying Rocki, it may not be for all dog owners.

If you have more than one dog, sending out treats one at a time may start a fight.
