But I don't really want to clean up after him, feed him, and re-glue the torn wallpaper. Inventive Japanese have come up with a pillow robot that wags its tail when stroked. And it's nice, and there's no hassle.

Qoobo is a pillow developed by Yukai Engineering Co. All she does is wag her tail when she is petted. But for those who have allergies or simply do not have the opportunity to have a pet, and you want to caress someone, the pillow is suitable.
About six months ago, the designer of the company had to leave his cat to his parents, because it was impossible to take a pet to the apartment where she moved. Then she decided to help herself and other people suffering from depression and anxiety, but unable to get a pet. The designer has developed such a robot with the basic functions of a pet.
A bizarre robotic pet was presented at the CEATEC 2017 exhibition. It will go on sale next year, and it will cost about $ 100. Its creators claim that the Qoobo can run for eight hours without recharging and is charged from USB. Its peculiarity is the tail, which moves differently depending on how the pillow is stroked. Another "headless cat" vibrates, imitating purring.
