The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems team has created a robot for perfect hugs.

It took more than six years to create HuggieBot 3.0: first, a soft base was formed that is pleasant to hug, then artificial intelligence was added to try to imitate human actions, and in the latest version, the developers paid attention to sensations and emotions. And yes, the researchers do not stop there and are already making the fourth version of the robot.
