JAKARTA - Many researchers have created robots to lighten the workload of humans, which can also function as friends. Therefore, various innovations in presenting robots are quite diverse.

Robots can also do unexpected things like skateboarding and parkour, which is why robots have their own charm.

There are also robots that can actually display emotions like humans. Adorable isn't it? No need to linger, here's a collection of robots and their adorable innovations.

1. Paro

Quoted from Pocket Lint, Saturday, October 30, the Paro robot was created as a companion for people undergoing therapy, to help reduce stress and improve the mood of people in hospitals and advanced care facilities.

Paro is equipped with five sensors, tactile, light, audition, temperature, and posture sensors. Paro can respond to touch and changes in the environment that will adjust her behavior. This includes playing with their patients, imitating the sound of harp seals, and moving their bodies and head in a lively way to entertain the patient. With a light sensor, Paro can also recognize light and dark.

Because it is so effective, the Guinness World Record in 2002 officially recognized Parow as the most therapeutic robot in the world and has proven very useful in the treatment of patients with dementia.

2. Woobo

It is a furry robot marketed to children. Woobo is claimed to be smarter than other robots. The robot features a touchscreen in the center of a smooth, round body, under a pair of soft ears.

The screen will show Woobo's various facial expressions but can also run apps and games designed to teach children how to read, write, and solve math problems. Voice assistants can answer questions and can even use Woobo to set reminders for your kids, from telling them when to brush their teeth to when to go to bed, or texting them.

3. Yume Neko Smile

If you like robotic pets, Yume Neko Smile is the answer. Created by Sega Toys, and translated from Japanese to Dream Cat Smile, the Yume Neko is covered in faux fur and is equipped with full-body tactile sensors that can determine how they are touched, and will react appropriately.

When you get home, Buddy's face will glow, but if you don't pay enough attention, Buddy will become grumpy or sad. When invited to play, Buddy will smile and laugh. Beyond its emotional features, Buddy can also act as a security camera, smart home controller, and can be used to set timers or reminders.
