This Talking Pet Collar Is Like a Chatbot for Your Dog


A new smart collar aims to give pet owners the ability to talk to their fur babies. Or at least fake it.

And all those variables are essentially ongoing and changing and are inputs to what we call the cognitive cortex, which we build, which is based on machine learning and large data sets.” The collar’s sensors can discern that some play activity is happening, and Roscoe’s zany “voice” says, “You might as well cancel all your plans, because I could do this all day!” It follows up with some grunting and growling noises. It’s hard enough to get a straight answer out of your pet, but appending them with a voice box that approximates what experiences a sensor-laden collar thinks they’re going through may not be the most efficient way of figuring them out.
