In the past decade, there has been many studies in the field of robotics, particularly with social robots: robots that can communicate and interact socially and intuitively with humans.

The toboROBOT modular pet was designed to introduce social robots into everyday human life, due to its simple, entertaining and non-intimidating nature. toboROBOT will be primarily interacting with children in a domestic environment. It will provide an educational yet entertaining experience by teaching children how to look after a pet whilst encouraging exploration, constructing, deconstructing and problem solving. The toboROBOT can also be used as an alternative companion to people who can’t have real pets due to limited living arrangements, ie. apartments, or allergies.
