For a long time, tech companies have installed pet cameras to see what your furball is up to when you’re not home. Vex, a new robot companion launching at CES this week, takes it a step further: It follows your pet, filming as it goes, and uses AI smarts to stitch together video from the footage.

Wax is a small white sphere that comes in a range of colors with cute, stubborn limbs, ears and accessories. It’s compact enough to hold in one hand, so whatever pet you want to film will almost certainly be smaller.

It’s autonomous enough to follow and play with your cat or dog around the house, and use visual recognition to identify specific pets. It plays movies, captures low-angle footage that should get a little closer to your pet’s point of view, and cuts each day’s footage into “dynamic narratives and shareable stories.” Manufacturer Frontierx hasn’t actually shared an example of this edited footage, though that will be the real test of whether it’s worth it.

It’s included with the Aura, a large spherical bot with a circular screen for a face. It’s being marketed more as a companion bot for people, with the ability to read body language and facial expressions to understand your mood. Like the Vex, it can follow you around, and even talk to you with the help of LLM-powered conversational features.

Both Vex and Aura are still in development – Frontier X is in such an early stage that it doesn’t yet have a live website, just a Barebones Instagram page. Still, the company says it will be ready to make an advance in the next six months, though it hasn’t said how much the robot will cost.
