News : Cuddly robot purrs for hospital kids




Belgian scientists have unveiled a cuddly green robot designed to make life easier for children spending a long time in the hospital.

The robot, called Probo, responds to touch and informs children about operations.

It can smile, purr, talk and even be hugged.

While Probo cannot hug back yet, the dream is to build a machine that can be a child's friend through difficult moments in hospitals.

Soundbites:

KRISTOF GORIS, ELECTRO-MECHANICAL ENGINEER

IVAN HERMANS, INVENTOR OF PROBO
