In 2025, Casio launched Moflin, a $429 robotic companion animal powered by what the company calls Emotional AI. The device learns from its interactions with its owner over time to develop a unique personality, and is marketed as a mental wellness product. All of Moflin's data processing happens on the device itself — nothing is sent to the cloud or stored by Casio.

Details

Moflin launched in Japan in November 2024 (¥59,400) and in the United States in October 2025 ($429). It uses built-in sensors — including accelerometers, gyroscopes, touch sensors, and microphones — combined with machine learning running on-device to generate what Casio claims can be more than 4 million distinct personality combinations. Voice input is converted into non-identifiable feature data and stored locally, with no personally identifiable information collected. Casio describes Moflin in its Medium-Term Management Plan as a "mental wellness" product, citing global growth in anxiety and mental health challenges as the market context. The product was originally developed with involvement from a startup, and an earlier crowdfunding version exceeded its funding goal by more than 3,000%.
