LOVOT uses gaze, warmth, touch sensitivity, voice localization, and autonomous wheeled movement to invite affection and build household-specific behavior.
A distinct design philosophy: it intentionally asks for attention rather than completing chores. The physical warmth and gaze behavior are central; regional access and required service are the practical barriers.
Capability descriptions are based primarily on current manufacturer documentation. They are not independent performance test results.

Use it as the product it is.
Its warmth and weight are intentional parts of the experience. Follow lift points and clothing guidance, and separate the roaming area from stairs, wet spaces, and small floor hazards. [L3]
