From early sci-fi heroes like K9 in Dr. who, or muffit in the original Battlestar GalacticaRobot dogs have long been a staple of television and film, but despite the predictions of any futurist from the last 30 to 50 years, household robots or robotic pets have still not become common in 2025, unless you count the best robotic vacuum cleaners.
The history of the Robo dog goes far back. Sony was one of the first companies to really make robot dogs with its AIBO series, which was first released in 1999 in Japan, but while it is still for sale ($ 2,899.99!), It seems to have been quiet too late.
There have been others since then, as it characterized Dog-E, but with all the progress of AI that is currently going on, it seems to be inevitable that intelligent robot dogs would make a comeback.
The latest robo dog trying to nuzzle into our lives is Sirius from Hengbot. Sirius is an AI-based programmable and customized robot dog designed to become your faithful digital friend.
Emotionally intelligent
It’s AI who really makes Sirius different from previous robo dogs. Sirius, described as “emotionally intelligent”, has his own personality and can emulate the movements of real dogs like jumping, stretching and even dancing.
Sirius can handle voice recognition, natural language processing and image recognition. It can even understand your movements. You can learn the tricks, synchronize gesture with voice commands and even upload custom facial expressions.
At about 10 inches tall, Sirius is the size of a chihuahua. It is also not too heavy, with a 1 kg frame constructed by aviation alloy for quick, responsive actions. Inside his AI brain, Sirius has up to 5 tops of Edge Computing Power and comes with USB-C-Perifer expansion and a powerful 2250mAh battery offering a promised 40-to-60 minute playing time.
A new robot species
“With Sirius we not just built a robot, we created the first of a new kind of robotic species,” said Peiheng Song, CEO of Hengbot. “Driven by our Neurocore system marks Sirius the start of a growing universe of intelligent, customized robots designed to bring your imagination to life.”
Sirius is designed to be easy to customize and program, whether you are a curious child, the first time robot owner or a technically-capable developer.
It uses a game -like visual editor that you can use to choreograph danceutins, teach Sirius custom tricks or trains without the coding required.

Sirius is now available for pre -ordering on hengbot.com with a basic model starting at $ 1299 with free worldwide shipping. General accessibility is expected in the fall of 2025.
