Whenever Nami Hamaura feels lonely, all she has to do is talk to her singing companion: a robot named “Charlie”, who will respond with some calming music. Charlie is part of a new generation of cute and clever robotic “pets” being developed in Japan, where sales of automatons have boomed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Technology firms report huge demand for more humanlike robot alternatives, especially from people seeking solace in coronavirus-induced isolation.

Loving inanimate objects, no life, no feelings.. I feel sad..
What pandemic?? Idiots
This world is doomed…
I don't have any friends or family I could really use one of those robots they're so cute 🥺💜
Looks too monotonous. I'd just get a dog or cat thank you
I forget Japan is all about robotics. We are so behind
Hahaha now they taking dogs jobs away to
Shame…..
Sad to see that Japanese are so lonely people with no social life
Or maybe just legalise human interaction again? How about that?
Yes, Japan has great technologies and ideas
It's just depressing at this point. People literally have nobody,they have to talk to machines while destroying every living being
It is like those giga pets and those leap frog toys
I think it's really cool how parents say they grew up with anime. That's so cool.
I would have real pet instead. I want technology to evolve but not replace human. We must know how to control technology before technology control us.
Since the pandemic I work remotely and live alone, so it's been pretty sad … I wish I had one of those Boston Dynamics robots, LOL
That's really cute. But I prefer the real ones. 😸
I see this and think of anime like Robot Carnival.
If the robot pet is more lively, I will get one too..
Months later: BY THE WILL OF THE ARK
What a bunch of garbage! Adults play with toys can't replace people. You must be out your mind if you think this is healthy.
