Tombot Jennie is a lifelike robotic companion dog for people who cannot safely or practically care for a live animal, with an initial focus on older adults living with dementia. It combines body-wide touch sensors, voice commands, puppy recordings, interactive and autonomous behaviors, rechargeable operation, and a smartphone app for personalization, interaction tracking, and software updates. Its soft fur and animatronic techniques create responsive expressions and familiar companion behaviors. It is intended to provide companionship and comfort without feeding, walking, or veterinary care.
