TomBot is a highly realistic robotic puppy designed to provide companionship for seniors with dementia and mild cognitive impairment. The lifelike robotic pet was developed after the founder’s mother with Alzheimer’s rejected traditional substitutes when her real dog had to be removed for safety reasons.
