The robot also learns a dog's behavior patterns and can respond with soothing music or physical interaction when it senses distress or a desire to play. If it can't solve an issue, it alerts the owner remotely. The integrated Oro app also records and tracks health documents and medical records. The robot will begin shipping in April.
