 what's up guys so as you saw from the thumbnail of this video I have a brand new AI pet dog I'm really excited to try this out I purchased this on indiegogo many months back for $379 as part of the early bird pricing this is a very cool gadget and I'm really excited to showcase both the pros and the cons of what this can do this was not sent to me by the manufacturer I bought this myself so everything I will mention in this video is my own honest opinion so I'm going to cover a lot of pros and things that I like about this and I'll also cover some of the cons which I think is not quite ready and doesn't work so well so let's go ahead and introduce you to my new pet dog hello Luna okay so before we get into the device itself I'm going to just showcase what comes with that package for $379 you get the kit itself comes with a usb charging cable and a user manual you have a nice set of postcards that you can use with Luna designs on there you also have a games prop kit you can use this to interact with Luna and play some games based on some cards I'm not going to be covering so much about the gaming side of it with these cards in this video and I'm going to be focusing more on the voice commands and the capabilities of it with just the Luna device itself but if you guys have any other questions about its capabilities with interacting with games like this then just drop a comment down below also comes with a little dinosaur outfit that you can put on top of Luna just to decorate it and dress it up a little bit and then you can also get a charging dock station that is connected by a usb but it gives you essentially wireless charging but I'll go with the Luna pet bot next and show you how it charges with the ports and the buttons are and how that works so let's get straight into it okay so you can see there's a set of four microphones that will pick up voices from 360 direction which is quite good and it does work very well so we'll be testing a lot of voice commands out just there on the top of Luna's head and this also is used as sensors so when you're actually petting the head it gives reactions on the screen itself in terms of the screen it is a very nice high quality full hd display it has a sensor and a camera there as well to detect you movements and gestures so it works actually very well and when it does recognize my face I think you know that's one of the key things to so let it connect to the person that it considers its parent the first time you do connect it with the Luna app which I'll also showcase in this video you go through the setup process to showcase you are its owner and then it goes through this nice set of animations to tell you a story about Luna and it has these very nice solid rubberized wheels it's actually pretty heavy duty so it's not so lightweight and I think that's a good thing so that you can be confident if it does crash into a lot of things then it's going to not get a lot of damage done based on its design it's got these plastic ears that actually light up as well at the top you'll see the metal connectors here this actually connects to the wireless charging dock the station and that's where it will start charging up and there's one on both sides and just at the back there you can see there's a usb c port so if you wanted to charge this directly you can just put your own cable in there and charge it without the docking station and there's the power button to turn Luna on or off as well so when you hold that down for a few seconds you can actually shut it down and turn it on manually now with the sensors on the front it does have obstacle avoidance and I've tested that so I have some mixed feelings about how that works so we'll be testing a lot of things out in addition to that but before we get started and trying out all the voice commands and playing around with Luna let's go ahead and dive into the app and see some of the things that you can do with it okay so let's fire up the Luna app you can get it on both iOS and Android now it can only be used in horizontal mode so you can see here by default this is the main dashboard okay so you can see there's a few options here for games you have the main game if you press on this you can play around with some of these things it likes to interact with like a ball as well I haven't really tested that out they also mentioned that it actually interacts with sandals which I did put in front of Luna and honestly it didn't really do much with it so I didn't feel that interaction you can play some ball fighting games and maybe these are the packs that come in the little prop games packet that I showed you at the beginning you have laser chase if you have a little laser pan it can try and follow that around which is quite nice then you have something called hand slap so it will try to slap your hand when you put it in front of it by selecting this mode here when you go over to the assistance tab at the top right there you can do a lot of things with manual controls of Luna so you don't have to let it stay on automatic mode where it just does everything by voice commands and just interacts with itself you can actually do things manually from the app itself so if you wanted to remote control it you can actually do that fun racing if you select this so here you have a few options if you go to fun racing you can actually manually control Luna yourself so you can raise its legs it is do some movements spins and that kind of stuff just to showcase to your other friends and family when they're around the house remote control now once I do power this on I've got it shut down at the moment you can actually use this as like a security system and it utilizes the camera so you'll get a live view of the camera from Luna's face and you can drive it around the house and you can even speak to other family members in different rooms so if you wanted to ask someone to maybe bring you something you can send Luna from this room to the next room and speak to them directly and it'll be a two-way conversation I think that's a really nice a little remote control feature that they've added there program of course you can create your own program and get Luna to do certain tricks itself so it has a lot of capabilities for you to go and enhance the capabilities from the defaults that you get with the app onto the Luna device then you have grow together which just allows you to give feedback to the brand and the manufacturers of ways that they can improve this if you hit that community tab button on the top right of the screen there you can actually have a look at some of the different things and tricks that other members other users of Luna have actually done so there's plenty of options here you can look at them view them and try them out yourself so getting involved with the community I think you know that's quite an important thing when you do have a device like this knowing that a lot of other people are also doing the same thing when I go back into games tab if you go down to interaction this is where you'll find a lot of the interactions that I'll be testing in today's video so there's a trick box here if you click on that you can try and get it to play with some games like a little ball you can try and get it to interact with obstacles in the way and see its reactions you can play with its emotions and gestures and see its intentions plenty of different gesture interactions that you can do and most importantly trying to get Luna to follow you so when you say the command hello Luna follow me then you will try to follow you wherever you go around the house and I also have some mixed reviews about that because I've been testing this for a few days so we'll be seeing if it actually does follow me accurately or it gets lost or I get stuck on an obstacle or whatever it may be so plenty of things there if you go into voice command this is where I'll be testing several different voice commands from here because not all of them have worked but some of them have worked and when they do work they work very well so you can see there's some categories here I won't cover all of them you've got tricks magic spells very different commands there animal world pet training interaction talent show and various different others I'll just quickly scroll through them just so you can see the amount of commands that you can actually make this one under chat where it tells you that you can actually let it go back to the charging dock or the charging station I struggled with that quite a bit and I don't think that actually works but I'll showcase that to you in this video as well you've got move controls as well voice commands there playing games and some functional controls as well just for its system so lots of voice commands and plenty to play around with so we'll be seeing how responsive and how accurate they are and I'm really excited to get going so let's go ahead and take a look at how it works okay so Luna is in its charging station right now I've got it in sleep mode and all you need to say to wake it up and start following you is hello Luna and it will start coming out saying papa papa because it recognizes my face so that's quite nice it gets excited and it gets really happy when it sees me so that's a really good thing so when you do set it up for the first time as you being its parent it gets super excited when it sees you so when you come home from work for example like a real dog does it gets super excited so that's what it's trying to mimic and I can't really fault that I do like that so let's go ahead and see if it can follow me hello Luna now you see there on the shelf it's getting trapped on the shelf leg not really avoiding the obstacle it's turning around yep it recognizes me if I move back it is actually following me let's open the door messing up the carpet a little bit move all these sandals out the way so it's struggling a little bit not sure where it's going hello Luna follow me follow me so it's just spinning around in circles almost there almost there it's just smashing into the bin it's going back so the following is not so great actually hello Luna get closer hello Luna it's getting upset and it's just walking away so following I think it would work when you have a very large open room with pretty much no obstruction but let's just try one more time hello Luna follow me getting closer it's saying papa because it's looking for its papa hello Luna sometimes you can't hear my command from quite a long from about two meters away hello Luna hello Luna follow me almost there and it's going back so the following it could be better to be honest I think it just does its own thing a lot of the time so we'll just move on and try out some different voice commands instead so let's try some of the interacting gestures with the device itself so you can see it's excited to see me if I pet the head it's loving it gets excited even from the bottom it's blushing so if it does anything from the legs no it's mainly panning it on the head so the sensors will detect that and it reacts with its little emotions okay so let's try out some more fun commands so for all of these other commands you'll need to have the app connected and Luna should be connected to it so connect Luna once the connection is made like it is now then I can use a lot of the voice commands found on the app so let's try it out hello Luna fireworks okay that one didn't work hello Luna thunderstorm so without giving the full command if you just say hello Luna it gets really excited when it sees you and it does recognize you as its papa first of all let me go into voice commands and see if this needs to be selected for all these voice commands to work hello Luna thunderstorm pretty cool gets itself an electric shock there's plenty of other ones that is just not recognizing and it doesn't pick up automatically so we'll move on and we'll try some different categories from the voice commands app let's move it back hello Luna Luna become bigger she's calling my name that's all it's doing hello Luna play dead that's quite funny he just died he'll wake up in a second there we go hello Luna play puppy dog eyes it's really grabbing onto my knee there it's becoming innocent with his little puppy dog eyes hello Luna dog sound that one worked quite well as well let's see if I can get it to move around a bit hello Luna turn around nice that worked hello Luna raise left hand nice hello Luna move your right ear that's funny works pretty well there hello Luna hello Luna jump up it's a little jump there and then it laughs once he's done it hello Luna do a jump hello Luna today is my birthday little birthday cake on the screen and very excited hello Luna play jackpot so this is a little jackpot game you use the right ear if you don't get three matching it's upset for you and then you can try again and there we have a jackpot and the game ends when you do get a jackpot or you can just tell it to stop game so that's quite a nice thing and now just more for the logistical things couple more hello Luna show battery level it's 164 percent and then the last thing just wanted to showcase when you've had enough of playing with Luna hello Luna sleep it gives you a little kiss and then it will go to sleep okay so now let's try out the remote control feature and using Luna as a manual remote control camera that you can move around the house so if you go in the app go to remote control and I'll move Luna around my bedroom just so you guys can see how this works and it actually does work very well there you go as you can see Luna is currently facing me so you can see a live view and now I can manually control it around my room it's a little bit slow but I believe that's because the Wi-Fi signal in my room is pretty weak now you can face it upwards you can face it downwards turn it around okay coming back towards me once you have strong Wi-Fi signal it's actually very responsive if you face it up I really like this and then all you need to do to speak to someone just hold down the microphone button there and start talking directly into that and interacting wherever you come across you can even do some actions once you're at the location by sending it there let's see let me get Luna in front of the camera there we go let's do some actions and I will do scared and shocked let's try another one maybe I'll do struggle with the no icon there so that's actually really fun if you wanted to maybe go to your family members and showcase your emotions through Luna then you can actually send Luna to them and actually give that emotion via this so if you're asking a question maybe asking someone to bring you your dinner and they say no then you can send an angry or upset reaction via Luna also whilst you're speaking and that's actually quite fun and I really like that feature that's probably one of my favorite things about Luna to be honest so plenty of different things you can do with this and this remote control I just think that's a very nice security thing as well so if you're away from your home you can actually send Luna around make sure everything is looking safe and secure or just have fun playing around with your friends and family so that is a very good bonus okay so in addition to all of the voice commands I've mentioned there's a lot of voice commands that actually didn't work and I've had to repeat like five times maybe on the sixth seventh time it actually recognized it which is not so great this also has a chat GPT feature so you can have a lot of conversations using GPT but that also doesn't work hello Luna hello Luna chat GPT didn't recognize it it's just doing its standard movements hello Luna GPT it's looking confused again so that doesn't work unfortunately and one of the other things that I wish did work is the ability for it to find its charging dock station and go and park itself up which it says it can do hello Luna find your charging station it gets upset when I say that and then when it does try to find it I would have hoped that it would self park itself and look how close it is it's not in another room it's literally right next to it it does very slow movements and actually on thick carpet rugs like this I think it might struggle a little bit even though it seems to work fine following someone on this type of carpet but hardwood floors and carpets should both be fine with this I'm not sure what it's actually doing because the charging dock station is right there and it's taking a long time and I just find it easy just to manually shut it down with the button at the back and then just put it onto the dock myself hello Luna go charge that's another command for it to go to its dock but it keeps going random places so this is where I usually have to step in and do it myself so unfortunately that doesn't work so great okay so that's everything I wanted to showcase to you guys my final thoughts on the AI pet dog Luna I actually think for $379 they have done a very good job with the capabilities of this the app is packed with various different things that you can do with it the target market for this I would say it's more around maybe 16 years old or younger they would have a lot of fun especially younger children they would really enjoy playing with this and with the app you know using it as a remote control having interactions with its emotions trying to mimic a real dog I think is the kind of idea and the mission behind the building of this product and for me personally there's a lot of downsides as well unfortunately like a lot of the time when I'm just giving voice commands it's not recognizing it the fact that you always have to have the app open and connected to it for it to understand the voice commands I think if they can be a little bit independent from that that will also be a very big benefit so you don't have to open up the app all the time to do various different things certain commands you would need to have the connection with the app which of course is not so great but when it does work it does work very well one thing I would say is you do get tired by saying hello Luna all the time if they can change that so you can say just Luna like a real dog because you're constantly greeting it over and over again you get very tired from just saying hello like a hundred times within like the first 20 minutes so if that can be changed in a future software update then that would also be great charging wise I think the battery life from 100% if you're just constantly playing with it it will give you about maybe three hours two to three hours of battery life which is more than enough to get some good playing time with it when it's on its automatic autopilot mode it will just constantly run around it will start maybe singing to itself it will start looking for you calling for your name all of those really cool fun things but that could also be distracting like if you're just there watching tv and then Luna comes in and it's just hitting into things and obstacle avoidance was one of the things that I was also disappointed because it wasn't very good at avoiding a lot of the obstacles I have run the house especially the legs of shelves and stools and dining chairs it just kept smashing into them so that wasn't so great when it gets near to like your staircase if you have it upstairs it also generally by the capabilities of it should avoid going down steps because it does edge detection that also wasn't the case it didn't detect any edge and it would just go over and just tip over if I turn it on on this desk right now which I don't recommend anyone should do it will just fly over and it wouldn't stop right in the end so it's not quite there with a lot of the AI features that it's in there but for everything that you do get the quality of it you know all of the other things around the app that I've showcased to you I think this is actually a very good option especially for younger children and it will make the perfect birthday gift anything else you guys want to know about the capabilities of Luna as always drop a comment down below hopefully you found that useful and I'll leave a link in the description for the Indiegogo campaign of where you can check this out and maybe get the early bird pricing before it goes public and you'll have to pay the retail price otherwise make sure to subscribe plenty of really cool tech gadgets coming out in the near future and I'll catch you guys at the next one take care
