Do you love pets? Sure! Do you adore selfies? Hell yes. Then you, my friend, will surely appreciate the PetBot, aka “The World’s First Smart Device That Lets Your Pet Send You A Selfie Automatically”.

The PetBot – which, we’ll be honest, looks quite a lot like a bin to us – uses “Petificial Intelligence” (of course) to detect, record, share and notify absent owners when their pet is active at home.

More specifically, when the PetBot’s camera senses your pet is near it will use sound (such as your recorded voice) to lure them in. If they get close enough it will start recording a video, while your pet will be rewarded with a delicious treat.

PetBot claims all kinds of advantages to this, including helping with separation anxiety and pet depression, reinforcing pet training and, less romantically, checking the strength of your internet connection.

Sounds puurfect? Well get yourself to Indiegogo, where the PetBot is currently raising funds.
