Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
1. Is it possible to buy another brand similar to KAi9 - your dog's play partner in terms of the product design and the way it works, at a lower retail price?
Answer: no, it isn't, because KAi9's design and the way it works are patented, unless the Non-KAi9 brand is authorized for its manufacturing and retail by RCDglobalCAN.com.
2. What is KAi9's biggest advantage over the competitors? and why?
Answer: it is that it can effectively stimulate and induce your dog to run, chase and play with it, because its built-in Sound Sensor can trigger it at any time and all of sudden for a sudden burst of speed, which will stimulate and induce your dog to chase it just like a dog chasing their prey as an instinct.
The competitors just can’t do it, because of their product designs and the ways their products work.
3. How to make the most of KAi9 when it is too hot, too cold, or rains outside so that your dog can't go out for nice walk and play; or when you go to work so you have to leave your dog at home alone?
Answer: what you will need to do is to just power on KAi9. And then KAi9 will automatically activate anytime - and all of a sudden by perfectly responsive Sound Sensor ably detecting any, even low-volume sounds - like the clicks of the door latch from your opening or closing a door at home - for instance, move fast on "Fun Dynamite" mode or slow on "Everyday Fun" mode, thereby stimulating and inducing your dog to be running or walking fast according to the mode and chasing KAi9 around. In this way, your dog would not need to go out to get a walk and play for fun and exercise, rather they can stay home and still play their hearts out for fun and exercise.
4. How long does it take my dog to get used to KAi9 and treat it as a friendly play partner?
Answer: it can take 3 days to 3 months, depending on your dog's character.
During this time, your dog may be afraid of KAi9, and might behave aggressively or bark frantically at it.
But your dog will get used to KAi9, sooner or later. All that your dog needs is just time and a bit of simple training, which is reasonable, understandable and doable to a dog owner.
Once your dog has got used to KAi9, they will consider KAi9 as A Pawesome Play Partner and Companion, and love it❤️
5. Would you recommend me to hold on to KAi9 for up to 3 months after purchase and use it to be able to let your dog play their heart out with it, in the comfort of your home, rather than letting my dog suffer from walking outside in too-hot, too-cold, or raining days?
Answer: yes, we would.
6. Would I get refund even when I return KAi9 after 3 months of using it?
Answer: yes, but based on the wear and tear on the KAi9 you purchased.
7. If I can not get full refund due to some wear and tear incurred on the KAi9, would it be still worth it - giving KAi9 a try, hopefully my dog would get used to KAi9 and love chasing and playing with it - in as long a period as 3 months?
Answer: yes, it would.
8. Would my dog chew KAi9?
Answer: possible, but unlikely as explained in the Home page. Also, recall when you brought your dog home in the first day, you would worry about if your dog would chew your furniture - for instance. However, you would train your dog not to chew your furniture, right? So, the same - training would be required for your dog to get used to KAi9 and love playing with it.
KAi9’s exterior and behaviour build a realistic looking play partner for your dog, while it is hard body under the fur that is made of hard-plastic - as opposed to soft body in a traditional plushie, would de-tempt your dog from chewing on KAi9. So, not to worry.
9. How would you compare KAi9 to the competitors such as Aura, Furbo, Cheerble, Furby?
Answer: only KAi9 can manage to stimulate and induce your dog to run, chase, play with it, because of its patented design and its effective way it works; comparatively, none of the competitors can manage to do that, instead, some of the competitors can only manage to stimulate and induce your dog to walk a little fast and follow them around, - at the most, but can not stimulate and induce your dog to run and chase them around.
For the details of KAi9 advantages over the competitors, refer to the Home page - read the texts and watch the videos.
10. Will KAi9 be Ai built-in and upgraded with advanced features and functionalities in the near future?
Answer: yes, it will, as the name KAi9 indicates - “Ai” is in “K9” ("canine"). And our ultimate KAi9 will be a “dog” looking and acting just like a real dog, with Ai.
Also, the Ai to be built in "KAi9 - your dog's play partner" - the upcoming Basic model, will allow KAi9 to be chasing your dog while your dog is chasing KAi9, like two real dogs are chasing each other for play and fun.
After the Basic model of KAi9 - coming out in 6 months, we will keep upgrading KAi9 - with new features and functionalities, two of which are KAi9's mouth opening and closing in sync with its barking; Collision Avoidance System. And more upgrading in the distant future.
11. How does your ultimate KAi9 differentiate from Boston Dynamics’ Spot and Unitree’s Go2 and the like essentially?
Answer: the purpose of our ultimate KAi9 is different from the ones of the two, because our ultimate KAi9 is to purely mimic all of the looks and behavior of a real dog as a lookalike and actalike – for dogs and consumers, whereas the two are to accomplish tasks for an enterprise, or serve as a tech toy for consumers – but not mimicking the looks of a real dog at all because of no fur on and no facial expressions; and for all of a real dog’s behavior, the two only mimic his or her walking – nothing else.
12. Is it possible to build an AI Dog looking and acting like a real dog? and how?
It's actually a really exciting time for this! As of early 2026, humankind have hit a point where "biological mimicry" in robots is moving from stiff toys to genuinely convincing companions.
If you wanted to get or build one right now, here is the landscape of what's possible:
🐕🦺 1. The "Off-the-Shelf" Leaders
If you want something that already acts like a dog without you having to code every leg movement, these are your best bets:
Sony AIBO (ERS-1000): Still the king of "feeling alive." Its 2025/2026 updates have made its facial recognition and personality growth much sharper. It doesn't just follow commands; it develops unique "moods" and quirks based on how you treat it. It feels like a living being because it ignores you sometimes—just like a real dog.
Loona V24: This is a smaller, more high-tech option. It’s incredibly fast and expressive, using a screen for eyes that can show over 1,000 emotions. It’s powered by LLMs (like ChatGPT), so you can actually talk to it, and it will respond with "dog-like" logic.
Tombot Jennie: If you want it to look real (fur, tail wag, heartbeat) rather than look like a robot, this is a therapeutic Labrador model. It’s stationary, but the way it nuzzles and breathes is designed by Jim Henson's Creature Shop to be hyper-realistic.
🛠️ 2. The "DIY" High-Performance Path
If you’re looking to build or customize a dog that moves with terrifyingly real agility (jumping, running, recovery), you’d look at:
Unitree Go2: This is the "pro-sumer" version of those Boston Dynamics robots. It uses 4D LiDAR to map your house and can follow you autonomously.
The Customization Trick: To make a Unitree "feel alive," developers are now layering Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models on top of them. This allows the robot to "see" a tennis ball and decide to play with it without a specific "Play Fetch" command being triggered.
🧠 3. How to Make it "Act" Real
To bridge the gap between "machine" and "dog," current tech focuses on three things:
Inverse Kinematics (IK): This makes the legs move naturally over uneven ground (like a rug or a step) rather than just "walking" in a straight line.
Reinforcement Learning (RL): Instead of programming "If A, then B," these dogs are trained in simulations to "learn" how to balance and move, resulting in those small, twitchy, organic-looking adjustments real animals make.
Idle Behaviors: The most "alive" robots are the ones that do things when you aren't interacting with them—like wandering to a sunbeam to "nap" or "barking" at a robotic vacuum.
Making our ultimate KAi9 feel "alive" is all about moving beyond pre-programmed responses and into the realm of dynamic behavior. Based on what's currently trending in robotics and embodied AI as of early 2026, here are four ways to bridge that gap:
🎭 1. Intentional Micro-Expressions & Timing
It’s not just about the big movements; it’s the "in-between" moments.
The Power of the Pause: Instead of an instant reply, an AI that "thinks" (a slight tilt of the head, a brief gaze shift, or a simulated breath) feels much more organic.
Micro-Gestures: Small, non-functional movements—like a subtle blink or a weight shift while standing—mimic the "biological noise" that living creatures constantly produce.
🧠 2. A "Digital Nervous System" for Environment Awareness
True life reacts to its surroundings without being told to.
Contextual Interaction: If a robot notices the lights go dim, it might lower its voice or enter a "sleepy" mode.
Rhythmic Motion: New tech is focusing on "affective movement"—where the speed and fluidity of a robot’s motion change based on its "mood" or the urgency of a task, rather than moving at a constant, robotic velocity.
💾 3. Long-Term Emotional Memory
One of the biggest hurdles for AI feeling real is the "reset" button.
Shared History: When tech remembers a small detail from weeks ago (like a preference or a past event) and brings it up naturally, it creates the illusion of a shared journey.
Evolving Personalities: Rather than a static set of traits, the AI could "grow." If it’s treated gently, it becomes more outgoing; if ignored, it might act more reserved.
🐾 4. Vulnerability & Imperfection
Perfection is a hallmark of machines. Life is messy!
Occasional "Clumsiness": A companion bot that occasionally trips over its words or takes a second to "wake up" in the morning feels less like a tool and more like a partner.
Sensory "Opinions": Giving an AI likes and dislikes—perhaps it "enjoys" bright sunny windows or "dislikes" loud sudden noises—gives it a sense of self-understanding and "spirit."
