Cozio leads a new wave of robots for pets
A robot with a play arm, a roaming 4K camera and an AI companion: Cozio, EBO Max, Aura and EBO Air 2 reveal four different ideas of pet care.
Original feature · Research assisted by ChatGPT · Not personally tested
A fixed pet camera waits for something to happen in front of its lens. This week's robots are more ambitious: they move towards the action, offer interaction and, in Cozio's case, put a little robotic arm into the play routine. The interesting question is which of those ideas has become a dependable product.
Cozio is our lead discovery. Alongside it, we look at Enabot's EBO Max, Tuya's Aura and the original EBO Air 2. They are at different stages of development; the older Air 2 provides a useful point of comparison rather than a claim that every model launched this week.
Cozio: a pet robot with an arm
Cozio appeared at IFA 2026 and is being promoted as a mobile pet companion with feeding, play and monitoring functions. Its most distinctive idea is a modular robotic arm: a physical way to interact with an animal rather than relying entirely on a screen or speaker.
The company's crowdfunding presentation describes proactive interaction and insights into a pet's routine. These remain manufacturer promises. At our 7 October check, the material did not establish a confirmed final UK price or delivery date, and we found no independent long-term home test that would settle reliability.
That makes Cozio a strong preview subject. A good demonstration can show that an arm moves; everyday usefulness depends on whether a particular pet chooses to approach it, how reliably it handles clutter and how easy the machine is to clean.
EBO Max: the more concrete roaming camera
Enabot's EBO Max is an existing consumer model with a 4K camera, app-based viewing, two-way communication and a charging dock it can return to. Its practical appeal is straightforward: the camera can move to a different part of the room.
The UK store listed £519.99 when checked, alongside conflicting purchase and out-of-stock signals. Treat that as a listed price, not a confirmed delivery promise. Android Central's hands-on review found engaging pet interaction and strong image quality, but also reported AI frustrations and warmth during use. We have not tested it ourselves.
Before paying for a mobile camera, think about where it may travel and what it may record. Camera and microphone controls, account access and the app's ongoing usefulness matter as much as the expressions on its little face.
Tuya Aura: an ambitious pet companion
Tuya introduced Aura at CES in January 2026. Its presentation combines a mobile robot, camera, voice interaction, play and treat dispensing, with AI intended to respond to a pet's behaviour.
The company's language about understanding emotions is an interpretation claim, not evidence that a robot can reliably know what an animal feels. We could not confirm a UK retail price or a delivery commitment. Aura belongs in the announcement column until a purchasable version and independent testing make its limits clearer.
EBO Air 2: the simpler reference point
The original EBO Air 2 offers a moving 2K camera, two-way audio and automatic return to its charger. It is an established model, and it is different from the Air 2 Plus.
At the time of checking, Enabot's UK page displayed a promotional £125 price and an out-of-stock notice. Its narrower proposition is useful when judging the newer robots: do you mainly need to see and speak to a pet from another room, or will additional interaction justify a more elaborate device?
Four robots, four different propositions
| Robot | Main idea | Position on 7 October 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Cozio | Mobile interaction with a modular arm | Preview / crowdfunding presentation; UK terms unconfirmed |
| EBO Max | Roaming 4K camera and communication | UK listing; stock needs confirmation |
| Tuya Aura | AI interaction, play and feeding | Announced; no confirmed UK retail offer found |
| EBO Air 2 | Simpler moving 2K camera | Established model; UK page showed out of stock |
Pet Tomorrow's view
Cozio deserves the headline because the arm gives its idea a distinctive physical form. EBO Max offers a more immediate comparison with something owners can investigate as a current product. Aura is one to follow, while Air 2 asks whether a simpler camera might already cover the job.
For any of them, start with the animal's response. Introduce movement gradually and keep a clear way for the pet to leave. A robot can add interaction to a routine; feeding checks, exercise and human attention still need a person.
