Cuddlebot

The Cuddlebot, a fluffy, Tribble-like robot designed with therapeutic purposes in mind, has conductive fur that allows the robot to respond to your touch.

And not just any response; the Cuddlebot, made by Canadian artist and computer scientist Anna Flag, can differentiate between nine different kinds of touch, and respond in different ways.
