NEW DELHI: After smartphones, televisions, air purifiers and vacuum cleaners, Chinese phone giant Xiaomi’s newest product is a dog — a robotic dog. The Xiaomi CyberDog is meant to be a mechanical pet, similar to products like Sony’s Aibo, though the Chinese firm uses a much sharper and angular design. The company announced the robotic dog on August 10, at the launch of its flagship Mi Mix 4 smartphone in China. The company said the robot has 11 high precision sensors that guide movement, and Xiaomi’s in-house servo motors, which manage range of motion, speed and agility. The company does have robotic vacuum cleaners, which it also sells in India, but those are quite common on the market today.
