Robot puppy Jennie helps 300 million people with dementia
A new version of robot puppy Jennie has been released and I couldn’t pass by this event. Such robot pets are created specifically for those who cannot care for living animals but really need their company. This is an interesting development for people with dementia and mild cognitive impairments.
Its main purpose is to give people all the positive emotions from communicating with pets. Stress reduction and fighting feelings of loneliness.
This isn’t just a toy. Jennie is equipped with many sensors that react to touches, voice commands, movements and other external influences. The robot runs on a battery and comes with an additional app for those who care for patients. Through this app you can give the puppy a name, configure its functions and even track how the user interacts with the robot.
More than 300 million elderly people worldwide suffer from dementia and cognitive disorders. Many of them cannot care for real animals precisely when they especially need their company.
And soon robot puppies Jennie will reach 16,000 people waiting for this robot. When technologies help solve such socially significant problems as loneliness and mental health – this is truly a worthwhile application of artificial intelligence and robotics.
