The Quokka-inspired robot that I am developing has the potential to bring smiles and joy to those battling depression or simply in need of a little happiness boost. Quokkas were crowned the happiest animals on Earth in 2013, and my robot draws inspiration from their cheery nature. The robot is designed as a 3D model. Using materials such as stress balls, fake fur, cardboard pipes, felt, and googly eyes, my robot is both super soft and squishy. Overall, my robot has the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of those who use it, bringing laughter and joy in the face of difficult times.
