Buffalo children battling cancer receive robotic ducks to help with treatments

The robotic ducks are designed to help children. The center is calling this a high-tech social robot. The duck uses lifelike movements and emotions to engage and help kids during their cancer care, which could sometimes last more than two and a half years. During an event on Friday at Roswell, people saw first hand how the ducks operate. After the demonstration patients participated in a scavenger hunt that would lead them to their own robotic duck.
