In a press release, the company stressed the open-source nature of the machine’s design and that it would release only 1,000 units initially for “Xiaomi Fans, engineers, and robotic enthusiasts. Obviously, the capability of these machines will not be identical, but broader access to the technology will show whether it’s worth these firms pursuing at all. This quality of rich intelligence distinguishes artificial pets from other kinds of A-life, in which individuals have simple rules but the population as a whole develops emergent properties". The company says it hopes these first users will “propel the development and potential of quadruped robots” and is pricing the robot to sell.

Similarly, playing with a pet (short-term interaction) may, if continued over the long term, make the pet more optimistic. There are many video games that focus on the care, raising, breeding or exhibition of simulated animals.
