RSPCA Animal Futures - Could robot pets ever replace the real thing?

Broadcaster and journalist Kate Quilton speaks to entrepreneur and CEO of Ageless Innovation Ted Fischer and animal behaviour specialist Dr Leanne Proops, Associate Professor in Animal Behaviour and Welfare at the University of Portsmouth, about the role of robot pets and what it could mean for animals in future. Ted shares how robot pets can transform the lives of older people experiencing isolation and loneliness, and whether others could benefit from them too. Dr Proops discusses her research into how children respond to robot pets and their potential use in therapy, whether they could ever replace real animals and whether they might even one day become sentient like the real thing. The Animal Futures podcast is part of the RSPCA Animal Futures Project which explores five future scenarios of what the world could be like for animals in 2050. People listening between 5 and 21 February or 17 March to 6 April 2025 can join The Big Conversation. After that, you can find out more by playing the interactive Animal Futures game.
