What is app-based personality customization?
Many recent robot pets connect to a dedicated app that lets owners adjust their personality, way of speaking and reaction patterns. Being able to raise a personality that is unique to your own robot is an appeal that off-the-shelf products don’t offer.
Typical customizations you can do in the app
- Choosing a personality type (friendly / easygoing / chatty, etc.)
- Registering a nickname or name
- Adjusting reaction sensitivity (talkative ⇔ quiet)
- Checking conversation logs and recording growth
- Adding new features through software updates
Models with rich app integration
| Product | Brand | What the app can do |
|---|---|---|
| Loona | KEYi Tech | Personality settings, remote control, camera view |
| EMO | Living.AI | Expression pattern settings, new features via regular updates |
| Romi | Mixi | Conversation log review, speaking-style adjustment |
| aibo | Sony | Personality growth records, auto photo/video capture settings |
Things to note when choosing app integration
App features often require a Wi-Fi connection, so functionality may be limited where there is no network. Also, some advanced features (conversational AI, cloud integration, etc.) may require a monthly fee, so it is reassuring to check in advance what you can do for free.
Summary
If you want to raise a personality unique to your own robot, models with rich app integration such as Loona, EMO, Romi and aibo are recommended. Checking app reviews and supported OS (iOS/Android) before purchase helps prevent mismatches after you bring one home.
