High-tech pets designed to care for seniors

(University of Cincinnati) Studies show that pets can increase people's lifespans. But for some older populations, having a pet isn't possible. Perhaps they can't care for an animal or their retirement community doesn't allow it. Robotic companions have entered the market to fill that void, and one University of Cincinnati professor is reimagining these high-tech pets to not only provide companionship, but care.
