Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (www.androidauthority.com)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by thequantumcog to c/technology
 

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a.

Edit: Someone also got doom and Minecraft running on this thing

His point still stands as the image in the thumbnail is as fake as it gets.

Hehe, thumbnail.

Ironically the fakeness is covering a thumbnail.

Well doom can run on a freaking pregnancy test. At that point if it had any kind of processor and a screen, it can run Doom.

I'm pretty sure that story was faked by putting a separate display in the shell of a pregnancy test. They don't even have real displays usually, let alone a full reprogrammable microcontroller

it wasn't faked, but it was very much a ship.of Theseus pregnancy test. They replaced the microcontroller with one they could program (it might have been the reprogrammable version of the same microcontroller. And the screen was replaced.

So it was faked. The ship of Theseus was still a ship with the same capabilities at the end. They didn't add an engine to it.
