“He is basically a friend of the elderly: a robot. His purpose, when it comes to home, is to become a roommate and a partner,” said Dor Skuler, head of “Intuition Robotics”. “He Helps older people who live alone or spend a lot of time in social isolation.
It motivates physical exercise, helps maintain mental health and treats chronic diseases, promotes cognitive processes and helps communicate with the outside world. “
The “ELLIQ” robot shown at the exhibition is already helping several hundred seniors with a small rental fee and the feedback is positive. Its creators point out that the device is proactive and knows, for example, that it is best to suggest certain actions initially by joking. Second, the robot remembers previous conversations and uses this information in further communications. When asked about the pain during the demonstration, he recalled that there had been previously mentioned foot pain and that the problems were serious.
At the same time, the authors of the project emphasize that nothing can replace mutual human communication, but such a device can be a great help in various situations.
Unfortunately, in the fast pace of today’s society, loneliness in old age is becoming a growing problem.
