A companion robot is a robot created for the purposes of creating companionship for human beings. Companionship can take many forms including physical contact, verbal communication, and emotional support. Some of these robots can be used for other purposes, for example, in the field of artificial intelligence, where their functionality can be used as a research assistant. In general, companion robots are designed to meet the needs of humans while making them as comfortable as possible.
Robots built for companionship typically possess a set of basic cognitive skills, such as memory, attention, coordination, and learning. However, the human's interaction with a companion robot can be limited by the robot's lacking natural language abilities and limitations of the robot's physical or software components.
