VARRAM Launches Robot To Play With Your Dog, Cat When You Are Away

Too busy at work to spend time with your dog or cat? Does your dog get separation anxiety? Maybe a robot can help--at least, that's the thought of Los Angeles-based VARRAM, which announced this week that it has launched a "pet fitness robot". Varram said its robot is "specially designed to keep dogs and cats mentally and physically engaged", by automatically interacting with your pets while you are away. The company--which says the robot is powered by artificial intelligence, and is controlled by an iOS and Android app--explained that its robot provides pets with activity, engagement, and dispenses treats even when an owner isn't home. Varram's headquarters are in Norwalk.
