Meanwhile, not only conventional stuffed cuddly animals are moving in, but their robotic advancements.

But it can be a tool for interaction and motivation. An interesting trend, in our opinion!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pk-pharmakommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Roboter-Hund-600x335.png\" alt width=\"265\" height=\"148\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b76UKipZmz8&amp;ab_channel=faz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robot dog becomes a hit in a retirement home (Hund wird im Altenheim zum&nbsp;Hit)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pk-pharmakommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARO-ein-Roboter-mit-Charme-600x336.png\" alt width=\"263\" height=\"147\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KNM5OrZO8-w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PARO, ein Roboter mit Charme \u2014 Eine Dokumentation von Leonie Bredl (PARO, a robot with charm \u2014 A documentary by Leonie Bredl)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pk-pharmakommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/RobiCare\u00ae-smart-cat-600x336.png\" alt width=\"259\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pk-pharmakommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/RobiCare\u00ae-smart-cat-600x336.png 600w, https:\/\/www.pk-pharmakommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/RobiCare\u00ae-smart-cat-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pk-pharmakommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/RobiCare\u00ae-smart-cat-980x549.png 980w, https:\/\/www.pk-pharmakommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/RobiCare\u00ae-smart-cat-480x269.png 480w, https:\/\/www.pk-pharmakommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/RobiCare\u00ae-smart-cat.png 1022w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y-ZPqO8gj5A&amp;ab_channel=REIZPUNKT%E2%80%93MARKE%7CPOS%7CDIGITAL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RobiCare\u00ae smart&nbsp;cat<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little cats or dogs, cuddly baby seals \u2014 many animals we simply find cute.
