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

    You are missing the point. The point is that there is no need for such a device, a simple android app can do everything that rabbit r1 does.

      i didn’t think people would really be surprised. but maybe i’m jaded by my experience in the industry.

      if we’re arguing whether or not it’s objectively stupid, i think that’s up to the market to decide.

      kinda seems like a toy to me anyway, and it’s kind of priced that way

        I’d still expect a lot more from a toy at $200. That’s cheap drone money or a decent RC car.
