Roboticists are engaged on real-world variations of Sox, a robotic companion in Lightyear, to play therapeutic roles.
Check out how Sox compares to actual world robotic cats (and different pet companions) in my Science Robotics article. Sox truly checks off 4 of the necessities for an appropriate remedy companion robotic given in a 2021 paper by Koh, Ang, and Casey. The first robotic cat NeCoRo has been unflatteringly described as “It’s like your deceased pet, that you had stuffed at a discount taxidermist, came back to life because you read a passage from that dusty old book you found in the attic.” You can see simply how creepy it strikes and acts right here.
Sox is a superb place to begin to study extra about robotic design, see the matters web page on Robot Design for extra scifi and naturally my books to study extra.
