- Christine Hsu pets two Paro therapeutic robots
Christine Hsu pets two Paro therapeutic robots on display at the Japan External Trade Organization at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 8, 2009. Paro, designed to look like a seal, responds to light, sound, temperature, touch, motion and temperature. Overtime Paro develops its own character, becoming a "living" pet that provides companionship . Paro can provide companionship to people not able to take care of a real animal, such as those in hospitals, elder care centers and nursing homes.
