Robotic pets whimper, purr, help senior citizens combat loneliness

Lonely seniors in Oswego County, N.Y. are finding new friends through an innovative program that pairs them with lifelike robotic cats and dogs.

Since 2018, the Oswego County Office for the Aging has helped more than 400 seniors adopt animatronic pets that purr, whimper, and respond to touch—without the costs or care demands of real animals.

"These can provide a much-needed distraction," says Elizabeth Weimer, Senior Aging Services Specialist. "The feedback we have gotten is that they really do help with loneliness."

The state-funded program provides the pets free to qualifying seniors living independently. Story link has been gifted to redditors.

Multicam Boston Dynamics Spot

We recently had the opportunity to wrap a Boston Dynamics Spot in Multicam for Persistent Systems (an official partner of BD). I am super proud of how it came out and just want to show it off! Probably the highlight of my career getting to take this thing apart and look at how it’s built. Hoping to get more robots and drones in to do more jobs on in the future. Really enjoyed this compared to our normal work!

J5MOC - REVENGE

A first prototype teaser for a possible new J5MOC add-on, inspired by Johnny 5’s rebuilt appearance at the end of Short Circuit 2.

Still very early work-in-progress, but I wanted to share a small glimpse of where this could go.
