Overview

Jennie is a hyperrealistic robotic Labrador retriever puppy that mimics the movements and responses of an 8-10 week-old puppy. Fully autonomous, it responds to voice, touch and movement with lifelike behaviors including a detectable heartbeat, tail wags and authentic puppy sounds. Designed for lap-based interaction (no floor roaming, for safety) with all-day battery life and easy cleaning, it is being developed to treat Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) and is pursuing FDA medical device recognition.
