Yes, you are reading that correctly. A Robot Teddy Bear. In this crazy technological world, it should be no surprise that MIT students were able to engineer a Teddy Bear with emotions.
Now this is the side of technology that I feel everyone will enjoy. The students at MIT created Huggable, the Robot Teddy Bear to work with and comfort children with chronic illnesses such as cancer. These children are constantly isolated and detached from their normal, everyday lives and Huggable wants to help. Huggable is controlled through an app by a Child Care Specialist, so there is still an element of human emotion behind the bear's every move. I think this is such an incredible way to connect with these kids and make them feel more at home in a medical setting. Watch the full video below.
