Qoobo
Qoobo is a **companion therapy robot** designed as a soft, cuddly cushion with a lifelike tail that wags in response to petting, providing emotional comfort and healing similar to pet interaction without allergies or pet-keeping restrictions. Key features include realistic tail movements powered by two motors mimicking dog/cat behaviors, soft fur-covered body for hugging, and emotional expression through tail patterns. Ideal for apartment dwellers, seniors, stressed individuals, and those unable to own pets; it promotes relaxation, reduces loneliness, and elicits smiles through simple tactile interaction, as validated in medical university studies for elderly engagement.
