Reality check
LOVOT is one of the clearest examples of a companion robot built around the relationship itself. It moves, recognises people and seeks touch. Its role centres on emotional interaction rather than household assistance or chatbot-style conversation. UK ownership is also awkward because GROOVE X still does not offer a normal supported UK retail route.
