Meaningful companionship can be hard to find in today’s fast-paced, busy world. Bimo is being created as an emotionally aware companion, to bring comfort, motivation, and real connection to your everyday life.
I invite you to dive deeper into the technology that is being used to re-imagine pet companionship for the modern era. If you wonder about participating in this project, you are very welcome to.
At the heart of Bimo lies a real-world challenge and a belief that technology, when shaped by empathy, can bring about genuine good.
Loneliness is not just a private feeling. It is a growing crisis affecting millions, especially in busy cities. Despite being surrounded by people, more adults than ever report feeling isolated. Rapid urbanization, relentless work schedules, and the pressures of modern life often make keeping pets impossible, leaving many without daily comfort or support.
According to recent studies, rates of loneliness have risen significantly across developed nations, with urban dwellers particularly at risk. This isn’t just social pain, it’s a public health concern that impacts mental and physical well-being.

Not everyone can have a pet: busy schedules, allergies, limited space, or health challenges often stand in the way of traditional companionship. That’s why we’re taking a bold step forward: using robotics and AI to make emotional support, motivation, and warmth accessible to everyone, no matter where or how they live.
Today’s technology finally lets us build companions that don’t just react, but genuinely interact by offering presence, empathy, and encouragement right when you need it. Bimo isn’t just a toy; it’s designed to fill the gap with real support and connection, giving more people the chance to experience the benefits once reserved for pet owners only.
This project isn’t about replacing pets; it’s about opening new doors to comfort and belonging for all.
Here you can dive deeper into the main technological advancements that make Bimo behave like he does.
Bimo learned locomotion behaviors independently, adapting movements through advanced learning techniques inspired by reinforcement learning. This enables Bimo to perform actions beyond pre-programmed behaviors, resulting in lifelike and original motion.
Bimo’s intelligence extends beyond preset routines. Using sophisticated machine learning, it perceives and interprets visual and auditory stimuli. Thanks to its cognitive modules, Bimo responds intelligently and appropriately to its environment and the people in it.
Bimo uses visual and auditory cues to respond with expressive gestures, like subtle ear movements or full body motion, fostering natural interactions. It learns from your reactions and continuously refines its behavior to create meaningful personal companionship.
While Bimo uses onboard cameras and microphones to sense his surroundings, all data processing happens locally on Bimo’s own computer. Nothing is sent to the cloud or shared externally. Bimo physically can’t connect to the internet, ensuring your home stays private.
Bimo’s journey began with a simple question: how can advanced technology be used to bring the benefits of traditional pet ownership to those who can’t have a pet?
Since those early days, this vision has grown from sketches and late-night brainstorming sessions into a live engineering challenge. Below you can explore the road map of the project to see how far it has come and what lies ahead:
01
Everything began with countless design sketches, aiming to create a companion that is both technically viable and a joy to have around. The earliest version took inspiration from a two-legged dinosaur but felt too awkward and uninviting. The next attempt brought the concept closer, with a large, waist-high build but it was still bulky and slow.
After nearly 500 component design iterations, the Bimo you see today emerged: smaller, friendlier, lightweight, and full of energy. This refined form balances ergonomics, robust engineering, and more natural movement. All in a package that fits comfortably into everyday life.
02
Current Milestone
Leveraging breakthroughs in 3D printing, advanced simulation, and artificial intelligence, the first functional Bimo prototype was brought to life.
Current focus is on perfecting Bimo’s unique way of moving. By testing sim-to-real transfer, I'm working to ensure what Bimo learns in digital environments translates seamlessly into the real world. Achieving this will confirm the core technical foundation needed to support all of Bimo’s future intelligence and interactivity.
03
Next, Bimo's Artificial Mind will be built, allowing him to understand the word around, recognize and respond to people, pets, and daily life. The goal is for Bimo to not just coexist but truly interact with all members of your household, from humans to cats and dogs, using a blend of sensory awareness and smart adaptive behaviors.
04
True innovation needs real-world input. In the upcoming beta test, community members will have a chance to become early testers by bringing prototype Bimos into their homes. Their experiences and feedback will play a vital role in perfecting Bimo’s personality and performance.
05
After successful beta testing and refinements, Bimo will undergo strict compliance certifications, ensuring quality and safety for all users. At this stage, pre-orders will be available for those eager to welcome Bimo into their lives as one of the very first owners.
Become part of the community and receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes stories, and invitations to help shape the next steps of Bimo.
I am actively seeking bold partners, visionary builders and investors who see beyond today. Be part of something from the ground up: your expertise will help bring Bimo to life, revolutionize companionship and you will be part of this story from the very beginning.
The opportunity to make a real impact starts here: let’s build the future together!
