Chinese design graduate entrepreneur Zhang Jianming has developed a 3D-printed plastic robot dog called Bad Dog aimed at tackling loneliness among the increasing number of people living alone in Tamagotchi. It uses features similar to those in China digital pets and can monitor life signs, call for help if needed, receive deliveries when the owner is out and mimic the characteristics of a real dog. It retreats to a charging pad at night. Zhang is now working on a second generation version of the Bad Dog project and is seeking funding to bring it to market.
