If it were human
“Like a playful golden retriever puppy crossed with a theatre kid — endlessly expressive, always angling for your attention and impossible to ignore.”
Loona is a small desktop companion robot created by KEYi Tech in China and released in 2023. Weighing just 3.6 kg, it is designed to sit comfortably in a home environment and deliver one thing above all else: genuine emotional connection. Its signature feature is a pair of large, animated expressive eyes capable of conveying a surprisingly wide range of moods, making every interaction feel surprisingly alive.
Equipped with a depth camera, emotion AI, and voice interaction, Loona can recognise faces, respond to commands, react to its surroundings, and play games with its owner. It performs tricks, responds to touch and voice, and adapts its behaviour based on how it is treated — grumpy if ignored, delighted if played with. There is no industrial arm here, no heavy payload: Loona’s entire skill set is social.
At the agency, Loona occupies a very specific and quietly important niche. It is not here to carry boxes or perform surgery — it is here to keep you company on a slow Tuesday afternoon, to make a child giggle, or to give a solo apartment a little more life. Think of it as the desktop pet that actually writes back.
Loona is available now and ready for adoption. It suits families, solo dwellers, office environments, or anyone who has ever wanted a pet but can’t commit to fur and feeding schedules. Affectionate, low-maintenance (for a living thing), and frankly hard to resist.
