## Common questions

### What is Jennie?

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.

### Who makes Jennie?

Jennie is made by Tombot, based in Santa Clarita, CA, USA, founded in 2017.

### Where is Jennie deployed?

No verified deployments of Jennie are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

### What is Jennie's maturity stage?

Jennie is at the prototype stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Prototype stage means demonstrations exist but commercial readiness is not yet established.
