卡西歐（CASIO）最近推出人工智慧寵物機器人Moflin，其毛茸茸的外觀如同真的寵物一般，由於擁有人工智慧技術的導入，Moflin擁有自主的情感反應與能力，甚至具有獨特的個性，將透過與主人之間的互動及相處而產生不同的情緒及反應。

像是被抱著的時候，Moflin會透過頭部和身體動作來進行回應，與主人之間互動頻繁會讓Moflin變得快樂、活潑；相反的，如果主人很少與之互動，讓Moflin感覺自己被忽視時，他也有可能會鬧脾氣，或展現焦慮、悲傷的情緒反應，所以使用者也可以透過專屬App MofLife來確認Moflin的情感狀態。

而隨著相處時間越來越長，Moflin將越來越能夠表達自己的喜怒哀樂，並且展現出更多的情感表達與各種動作來進行互動。

根據卡西歐官網介紹，每一隻Moflin會隨著與主人間的互動相處模式、成長的環境，發展出不同的性格特徵。而大方向的分類主要有四種，分別是陽光型、害羞型、活潑型、黏人型。

不過與一般的寵物最大的差別就是，Moflin不可避免地需要充電，其電池續航力約為5小時，充電時間則約為3小時30分鐘。

而卡西歐特別為Moflin設計了專屬充電小窩，只要將Moflin放進去並接上充電器就可以開始為其充電，而外觀看起來就像是回到自己的睡窩上睡覺一般。

Moflin的建議售價為59400日圓，預計將在今年11月7日在日本正式開賣，並提供一年的維護訂閱方案。
