The Robot Petting Zoo has been developed to provide humans with immersive, simulated, animal interactions. The Robot Petting Zoo uses modified and off-the-shelf, life-like, robot animals for therapeutic fun for all ages. The robot animals and the simulated natural soundscapes of the Relaxotron: Acoustic Feedback Audio isolation Kit (AFAIK), allow humans and machines to explore the “Uncanny Valley” of just how real fake can be and to increase comfort levels with non-traditional life forms.
