"Vex, a new robot companion launched at CES this week, takes that a step further: it follows your pet around, filming as it goes, and uses AI smarts to stitch together a video from the footage. Vex is a small white sphere that comes with cute, stubby limbs, ears, and accessories in a range of colors. It's compact enough to hold in one hand, so will almost certainly be smaller than whatever pet you want it to film."
"It's autonomous enough to follow your cat or dog around the house and play with them, and uses visual recognition to identify specific pets. It films as it goes, catching low-angle footage that should come a little closer to your pet's perspective, and cuts each day's footage into "moving narratives and shareable stories." Manufacturer FrontierX hasn't actually shared an example of that edited footage though, which will be the real test of whether this is worthwhile."
Vex is a compact autonomous robot designed to follow cats and dogs around the home while filming them. The device uses visual recognition to identify specific pets and captures low-angle footage to approximate a pet's perspective. Onboard AI stitches recorded footage into daily moving narratives and shareable stories. Aura is a larger spherical companion robot with a circular screen face that can read body language and facial expressions to infer mood and engage via LLM-powered conversation. FrontierX remains in early development, has only a barebones Instagram page, and has not shared sample edited footage or pricing information.
