Interactive robotic dog for people with dementia and older adults

The interactive robotic dog can offer people with dementia, older adults and people with reduced mobility an enjoyable way to engage in an activity and connect emotionally. With its realistic appearance, soft fur and natural movements, it can offer a sense of familiarity and contribute to a calm, positive atmosphere. The robotic dog can give family members and caregivers an additional activity option for everyday life.

Realistic movements and natural responses

The robotic dog is similar in size and weight to a real puppy. Its exceptionally soft fur invites stroking, cuddling and brushing. Built-in sensors and sophisticated movement and vibration technology allow the dog to respond to touch and interaction.

Natural movements, gentle vibrations and familiar dog sounds can create a lifelike impression and make interaction enjoyable.

Engagement and emotional well-being

Many people associate dogs with happy memories and familiar experiences. The robotic dog draws on these associations and can offer a soothing, enjoyable activity.

Unlike a real pet, the robotic dog needs no food, walks or visits to the vet. This allows users to enjoy the positive aspects of a pet-like companion without taking on responsibility for a living animal.

For use at home and in care settings

The robotic dog is suitable for both home use and care settings. Its realistic appearance and simple ways to interact can make it a familiar companion for people who like animals but cannot keep a pet of their own.

An award-winning concept

The robotic dogs Amy and Spotty are part of the Joy For All Companion Pets range. The range has received awards including the Caregiver Friendly Award from Today's Caregiver and the Dementia SMART Award from the Dementia Society of America.
