P.E.T.S.:
The Personal
Electronic Teller of Stories is a robot that acts out stories that
children create. Children
build P.E.T.S. by piecing together different
animal parts. They can also program new emotions
into the robot by using the My PETS software.

of Maryland startup company) to encourage
physical activity in children with physical disabilities.
