Paro the Seal
We meet Paro the Seal, the world's most therapeutic robot, at a TEPIA robot exhibition, set to the song "If You Love Her" by Zeeche, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network (music.podshow.com).Paro (Personal Robot) is a "mental commitment robot for psychological enrichment" designed by Dr Takanori Shibata of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.
You can meet Paro at the 18th TEPIA Exhibition (Most Advanced Technology Exhibition) until July 21 at the TEPIA Plaza in Aoyama, Tokyo (between the Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium and Gaienmae Station).

Hey, thanks for the comment. I first heard Mr Zeeche on Yeast Radio and when I saw this slower song on the Podsafe Music Network I wanted to use it. I think it suits this "mental health" kind of robot.

Maybe Japan is normal and the rest of us are strange. I know I am.

Beautiful, seductive too; at least the musics message is dont do it, There is an immense sadness in mimicry.
