Hunter's comment

This little guy is so damn cute, and he's being used for a great cause. After 2 years of development, a small robotic Aflac duck is helping kids undergoing cancer treatment, which for the average kid, could last 1000 days. That's a lot of time to be without a friend and being poked and prodded with all those daily procedures...

"My Special Aflac Duck is a companion that helps distract kids coping with cancer. The duck plays soothing sounds, calming heartbeats and takes deep breaths."-source

This little guy has also won the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018 Innovation Awards Best of Innovation in the Tech For A Better World.

Well deserved in my opinion, great job Aflac!
