CES can be a lonely place sometimes you witness things that you just can't understand try everything you can just to feel something but at the end of the day all you need is a friend to come home to this robot needs you more than you need it it's only purpose is to be loved unlike other robots that promise to make your life easier or help out around the house the LaVon it really just it's like a baby for you to take care of it follows you around and makes little cooing sounds and when you're not paying attention to it it'll come up to you and beg you to hug it its cuteness really comes from these big eyes it's like scientifically designed to be cute there's six layers of projections in the eyes to create depth so when it looks up at you and asks for a hug you better hug it okay hi he's laughing like you can literally Boop it on the nose and it'll respond like it doesn't get any better than that it weighs the same amount as a toddler and when you cradle it and its arms it'll fall asleep sleeping Shh so as far as the tech goes there's a canister on the top with the microphone and the camera and there's over 50 sensors on its body that reactive touch and it's also warm so it's not cold like a machine but besides that it's not really overloaded with any tech it doesn't have Alexa I can't speak so it's not super useful but then again neither are your cats or dogs the a I can recognize up to a thousand people so if you're not nice to it or you treat it roughly it'll remember that and avoid you next time so one of the downsides is that the battery life isn't that long it's only about an hour and this is just a prototype but when the final version launches it'll know automatically to go to its charging dock the second downside is the price this little guy goes for $3,000 which is kind of crazy but that's the price you pay for companionship it's becoming more common to use robots as therapy companions in countries like Japan and for comparison Paro the therapy seal cost $5,000 but if money is not a deterrent and you still want to get your hands on this adorable robot then the Levada is to post the launch of the u.s. sometime next year but it's not confirmed yet I love you I'm gonna call you demi lovato
