    Great idea – horrible design. That camera is worse then a camera on a phone 15 years ago.

    This is a bit disturbing. The dog seems to become addicted to Rocki. What will happen if the robot doesn’t give treats for a while?

      Dead Robot. A much larger dog would rip that laser antenna off. It’s interesting toy but way over priced and a lot of thee comments on here are B.S., if i were to make a comment directly saying this toy is junk it would be removed.

    Park it in a box, to minimize floor scratches.

    Why is Luna such a popular dog name? Might as well name them spot or spike with how generic it’s become. Whatever, I guess. ????

    I can see this being loved by playful pets but absolutely hated by nervous ones haha

    Oh, contact manufacturer about using a more sustainable packaging.

    This was so much fun to watch but I’d rather spend the $250 on a human dog sitter.

    Luna: “Wait, you went to the park without me???!!!”

    Thanks for watching! Leave your praise for Luna below and I’ll read your comments to her. If this video gets enough likes, maybe I’ll post her reacting in the community tab!

    I’d love to see something with at least a little AI in it: Identify my pet, follow my pet, perhaps even a little storage area it could return to and recharge. It seems super neat though

    CNET, this is not a robot. There are no autonomous functions. It’s an RC vehicle with many features. You should know better. Ask Claire; she probably knows the definition. Keep making these videos. Cheers!

    Not a smart appliance. Not 4K. Very short record time. Loud AF. No thanks.

    I want to see the Blackmirror episode where Rocky hatches an evil plot to get rid of Logan and become the apple of Luna’s eyes.

    User should be able to turn on and off the laser remotely.
