Tombot's Jennie

Take a look at Tombot’s Jennie, a robotic Labrador retriever puppy who moves and nuzzles just like the real thing. It doesn’t pee, eat, or even bark. All this fake furry thing does is cuddle. It’s not a toy. It’s a medical device providing a health benefit. Tombot is one of many startups selling robotic companions for senior citizens, offering emotional support, day-to-day assistance, or remote monitoring through artificial intelligence.
