Casio has officially launched a new product that aims to merge artificial intelligence technologies with the desire for companionship and comfort. What sets Moflin apart is its advanced AI, enabling it to simulate emotional responses and bond with its owner over time. This plush, round figure lacks limbs and a traditional face but mimics snuggling through subtle movements and sounds. It recharges in a specially designed “bed,” appearing to “sleep” while powering up, with a full charge providing about five hours of interaction.
While Moflin aims to foster emotional connections, its emotional range is limited. Signs of stress or anxiety can emerge if neglected, but these are subtle and only noticeable through a connected app. Overall, Moflin combines the charm of a plush toy with AI technology, representing a unique solution for companionship and mental well-being.
