Meet a gentle AI pet that uses emotional AI to learn from interaction. As you spend time with it, its behaviour evolves, revealing how relationships between humans and machines can be shaped by attention, care and responsiveness.

Meet the part insect, part computer Cyborg Cockroach. Designed to assist in disaster rescue missions, these remarkable creatures demonstrate how biological intelligence and engineering can work together to help locate survivors in hard-to-reach environments. Observe the cockroach up close and watch videos that reveal how sensors, AI and insect behaviour come together in life-saving research.
