DEVICE

PARO robot

PARO is an advanced interactive robot. It allows the documented benefits of animal therapy to be administered to patients in environments such as hospitals and extended care facilities where live animals present treatment or logistical difficulties. PARO has five kinds of sensors: tactile, light, audition, temperature, and posture sensors, with which it can perceive people and its environment. PARO can learn to behave in a way that the user prefers, and to respond to its new name.
