Overview
Qoobo is a therapeutic robot in the form of a cushion with a short tail designed to provide calm and comfort to humans similar to how pets do. Its body is covered in soft fur, and when caressed, the robot wags its tail playfully. The tail movement is inspired by real dog and cat behavior, with tail patterns expressing emotional states. It weighs only 1 kg and is ideal for those who cannot have traditional pets.
