Our UXD mascot, Moflin

AI Pet Bot with a Heart

Moflin is our fluffy little flatmate with an AI heart – curious, cuddly and always good for a surprise. When he’s not dozing tiredly in his basket, he wants to be kept busy, cuddled and pampered. A technical marvel to cuddle, who regularly comes round for a stroke and reacts to his surroundings.
