Hasbro’s Robot Cat Reminds Us to Visit Our Grandparents
From: Robotics Trends - 11/18/2015

The $99 Companion Pet Cat has motion and light sensors to respond to touch.
It even has "VibraPurr" technology to replicate a "realistic cat purr."

Hasbro has introduced its Joy For All line of robotic pets designed to offer
companionship to grandma and grandpa. First up in the series is the $99
Companion Pet Cat that is available in three colors and has motion and light
sensors to respond to touch. It even has “VibraPurr” technology to replicate
a "realistic cat purr."

The Companion Pet Cat has sensors in its back, belly, cheek and head.

Again, this is designed for the elderly, so there's no need to feed or clean
up after the Companion Pet Cat. But it's so realistic that Hasbro even
includes a "Care Guide" on how to enjoy your new "lifelike" feline friend.
Hasbro says the robot cat requires minimum care.
