What are some examples of social robots used in therapy and mental health care, and how do these robots provide emotional support, companionship, and cognitive stimulation to individuals with autism, dementia, or other mental health conditions?

Examples include PARO, a therapeutic robot seal, and MARIO, a robot assistant for children with autism. These robots engage users in social interactions, provide sensory stimulation, and deliver personalized interventions to improve emotional well-being and social skills in therapeutic settings.
