Pets come in all colors and sizes, moflin is no different. The company is about to launch the pet in two different colors, silver and brown.

Everything about this furry machine is great except that it does not have software updating feature as of now. Company is planning to work on further developments so that buyers don’t regret bringing moflin to their home.

They are running a kickstarter campaign to raise funds for further development in moflin. The aim is to enhance user experience and provide a human friendly pet.

This lovely, comfortable, and cute little AI pet is suitable for everyone, be it adult, child, or lonely older adults.

Launch Of Moflin

Excited to bring this endearing animal to home? Wait till March 2021.

Treat With Caution

It comes with a warning as moflin has tendency to develop personality traits according to the treatment it would receive from the owner. That’s unique about moflin.

Everything sounds so perfect about this Vanguard innovation but large scale manufacturing won’t be easy. The company is looking for sustainable materials and environment friendly companies for mass production.

Apart from these, company has to meet few challenges and risks to make moflin accessible to all. Cost is one of the biggest challenge as not only production cost but testing costs is also involved.

So, it’s going to a big challenge to bring this prototype pet to global market at an affordable price. If Vanguard succeed then dream of many to own a pet would turn into reality.
