They are so cute!!
What you are seeing are Mental commitment robotic baby seals named "Paro" being recharged. The 350,000 yen (US$3,480) Paro, a cooing baby harp seal robot fitted with sensors beneath its fur and whiskers, is developed by Japan's Intelligent System Co, to soothe patients in hospitals and nursing homes.

exactly how does it soothe the patients? and why does it cost so much?
I don't know, probably can check it up online. My understanding is that they interact with the patients stimulating them to exercise their aging minds.
As with most robots nowadays, the AI technology is the part that stands out and is probably most costly.
