Artificial intelligence is everywhere, even in toys and cuddly companions. In Japan, Casio is preparing to launch an adorable plush robot pet equipped with AI that enables it to adapt, over time, to its owner's behaviour, whether happy or sad.

Named Moflin, this fluffy robot is reminiscent of a guinea pig. It is aimed at adults, rather than children, as a means of providing emotional support. It can communicate with its owner through a variety of simulated emotions (joy, sadness, stress, etc.). This is characterized by head movements and small noises.
