    The robot itself was actually designed by the French company Aldebaran Robotics under the name of Nao, however RxRobotics took the robot and loaded it with cognitive-behavioral software in an effort to interact with children. It also has the ability to play music, games and even have conversations with patients in order for them to feel relaxed.

    University of Calgary MEDi robot

    Published on May 29, 2012

    This robot, called MEDi (for Medicine and Engineering Designing Intelligence), was used in a University of Calgary-Alberta Health Services study last fall to reduce stress in children while they were receiving their annual flu vaccines. MEDi played with the kids, high-fived them and taught them to breathe deeply and relax before, during and after their shots. The study found the kids recovered quickly from their vaccinations—almost immediately as opposed to the 20 to 30 minute recovery time that usually follows a vaccination.
