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 and in the United States in October 2025 at $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 are more than 4 million distinct emotional configurations. Voice input is converted into non-identifiable feature data and stored locally, with no personally identifiable information collected. A companion app called MofLife is available for iOS and Android, allowing users to view their Moflin's emotional state and interaction history. Casio describes Moflin in its financial disclosures as a 'mental wellness' product targeting the growing AI-powered emotional support market.

Other practices by Casio
ProductivityCasio deployed an internal AI chat tool called Casio AI Chat for use by its own employees. The company planned training on the tool for department managers and general staff during fiscal year 2025 as part of a broader effort to improve workplace productivity.Creative GenCasio uses generative AI to co-design structural components of G-Shock watches, with AI analyzing decades of shock-resistance data to propose optimized physical structures that human designers then refine. This practice began with a one-of-a-kind prototype in 2023 and expanded to a commercially available watch line in 2025.OtherCasio's Yamagata factory in Japan uses extensive robotic automation and a sensor-based system to detect potential equipment failures before they happen. Since 2018, one production line has been almost entirely automated, cutting production costs by 50%, according to third-party reporting.
