Product

Popchilla is the first consumer robot targeted to the autism therapy market. His emotionally expressive features, warm colors, and soft fur make him uniquely suited to helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorders practice their social referencing skills. The accompanying easy-to-use software allows Popchilla to be used in clinical settings by licensed therapists, and at home by family members with little prior technical experience.
