Interactive Companion metaPanda - Robotic Panda for Seniors and Dementia Care

metaPanda is an emotional companion with reactions that can convey closeness, security and calm. As an interactive companion animal, it can support seniors and people with dementia through gentle interaction, calming rituals and a warm, comforting experience.

Inspired by a five-month-old giant panda cub and based on over 200 hours of behavioral study of real pandas, metaPanda shows authentic movements, facial expressions and forms of expression.

Its bionic, hypoallergenic synthetic fur feels exceptionally soft and invites stroking and hugging. When picked up, it snuggles in, lovingly wraps its arms around the user and lets a gentle heartbeat be felt.

Comparable to other interactive companion animals, metaPanda can serve as a complementary medium within a holistic care concept to stimulate communication, evoke memories and contribute to emotional well-being. It does not replace human attention, but can support relationship-building and may be experienced by many users as an enrichment of daily life.
