Default Scientists Develop Robotic Cat To Assist Seniors

Scientists Develop Robotic Cat To Assist Seniors

A collaboration between toymaker Hasbro and researchers at Brown University has produced a robotic cat aimed to assist seniors.


Hasbro and Brown University has recently received a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to add artificial intelligence to Hasbro’s new “Joy for All” robotic cat.

The robotic cat isn’t a new creation and has been on the market for two years at this point.

That thing looks more like a Yorkie than it does a cat.

Blade Runner comes to mind when people paid for high end quality look alike animals since most were wiped out.

Then there was Muffit the Daggit from Battlestar Galactica.


(It was actually performed by a chimpanzee on the show)
