In this undated photo made from video, 5-year-old cancer patient Alex Bridges speaks to a nurse and being comforted by robotic duck just before treatment at medical facility in Atlanta. A plush, robotic duck may soon become a fixture in the world of children who have cancer. The social robot can be silly, happy, angry, scared or sick just like them, and help them cope creatively with their illness through the power of play. (AP Photo/Marina Hutchinson)
