OlloNi, OLLOBOT’s Cyber-Pet Companion, Debuts at CES 2026

The prototype centers on local, removable memory with a crowdfunding launch planned for summer.

Overview

  • OLLOBOT introduced the non-humanoid robot as a pet-like presence that favors emotional comfort over high-level utility.
  • Expressive hardware includes screen-based eyes, touch sensors and, on the higher-end model, a warm telescoping neck for changing vantage points.
  • Photos and “memories” are stored on-device in a heart-shaped module that can be removed and moved to a new unit for continuity.
  • The robot captures and organizes moments, suggests socially oriented reminders, connects through a diary-style app, and is intended to work with Matter smart homes.
  • OLLOBOT confirmed a summer Kickstarter, with CES reporting indicating two versions and estimated pricing roughly in the $1,000–$2,000 range depending on model.
