You can own your very own WALL-E-like robot!

Fans of Disney-Pixar's lovable robot WALL-E can now own a similarly cute technological friend.

Dubbed Doly, the cute robot is the first 3D printable AI-powered companion with open hardware and open design. Over time, its expressions develop through understanding its users' personality.

The companion robot combines AI, robotics and coding education to perform actions such as setting a timer, taking a photo, or telling the weather forecast.

Launched by LimitBit on Kickstarter, Doly is also the first hardware upgradable robot, meaning upgrades and enhancements can be added with ease.

Founder, Levent Erenler said: "Doly is uniquely designed to grow and adapt, providing an engaging and educational experience for users of all ages and abilities. Our commitment to an open-source approach places Doly at the cutting edge of personal robotic technology."

Aimed at experts, families, educators, children, and tech enthusiasts alike, Doly offers many educational and companionship benefits. "Doly represents more than a robot; it is a step towards a future where technology enriches all aspects of learning and everyday life," Erenler added. "By engaging users in coding, robotics, and AI, while doubling as a companion robot, Doly sets a new standard in the field."

Founded in Ontario, Canada, Limitbit aims to merge state-of-the-art technology with practical educational applications to make robotics accessible to a wider audience. Those who want to own Doly can do so by making a pledge on Kickstarter, with $299 enough to get you your very own robot pal.
