Jennie is a super-realistic robotic puppy created by Tombot. Designed to look and act like an 8–10-week-old Labrador retriever, Jennie is perfect for providing emotional support and companionship, especially for people dealing with anxiety, dementia, PTSD, or loneliness.
Lifelike Design: Jennie looks like a real puppy with soft fur and expressive eyes that create an emotional bond, just like a live pet.
Interactive Features: Jennie moves her mouth, eyes, ears, neck, and tail, responding to touch and voice commands. For instance, if you scratch her cheek, she will nuzzle your hand!
Realistic Sounds: Jennie mimics real puppy sounds recorded from Labradors, making the experience even more lifelike.
Emotional Comfort: Robotic pets like Jennie are proven to reduce loneliness, anxiety, and stress, especially for seniors or people with dementia. She can calm the mind and make her owners feel cared for.
Fewer Medications: With Jennie providing comfort and companionship, seniors and others may need less medication for anxiety or depression.
Seniors: Older adults who can’t care for real pets due to health or mobility issues can enjoy Jennie's companionship without the hassle of feeding, walking, or grooming.
Caregivers: Caregivers can feel more at ease knowing their loved ones have a reliable, comforting companion that can boost their mood.
Jennie is currently a prototype and will soon be available for purchase. Expected to cost around INR 42,000 (about USD 499), early adopters can join a waitlist. In the future, Tombot aims to make Jennie an FDA-regulated medical device, which could allow for insurance coverage.
Jennie isn’t just a robotic puppy—she’s a friend designed to make life easier and happier for those who need companionship and emotional support. With her lifelike design, interactive features, and therapeutic benefits, Jennie could transform the way we care for ourselves and our loved ones.
