Going Narrow

The idea of AI companion robots for seniors needs to be the narrow focus of my online business.

ElliQ from Intuition Robotics
Intuition Robotics unveiled ElliQ in January 2017 as the first social robot developed specifically for the needs of older adults. The company’s focus is on creating a product that many seniors find a valuable aide and a comfortable member of their home as they face the challenges of aging.

AUN report estimates that the number of people aged 60 or over will grow from 962 million worldwide in 2017 to 2,1 billion in 2050 and 3,1 billion in 2100. According to the United Nations report. Health care employs more than 4,5 million nursing and orderly aids, home health care, and personal care aides in the United States alone.
With increasing numbers of older people and a shortage of skilled labor, governments around the world may want to use robots to bridge the gap. While the adoption levels of elderly care robots remain low in comparison to other service robots market segments, the industry has been on the upside in the use of AI-equipped elderly care robots.
Senior citizens may have difficulty keeping themselves busy and active, and companionships can encourage many seniors to participate in daily activities. This is particularly true if they are retired and live alone. Leading a secluded life can lead to a lack of desire to keep your home clean, prepare proper meals, and take care of yourself. This could lead to depression or the inability to socialize.
1.ElliQ
ElliQ is an “aging companion,” launched by Intuition Robotics, a startup founded in Israel in 2016. Designed to keep elders active, independent, and engaged, ElliQ is a robot-associate named after Norse goddess that represents old age. ElliQ is a tabletop that illuminates when you call it. Besides wellness and environmental monitoring, it uses machine learning and computer vision to provide proactive suggestions, entertainment, and activities.
Its design was inspired by the animation lamp in the Pixar logo. ElliQ does not have a face, arms or legs, but talks while keeping her human partner active and active. The robot imitates user-to-user head motions. She can look up and be excited. ElliQ is an easy-to-use social partner. She answers her phone, reads emails, and plays her partner’s music.
The robot can remind people to take their medicines or arrange cabs. It can also recall the owner’s appointments and prompt suggestions relevant to the current schedule. Older users can play games, access social media, and conduct on-screen video chats to stay connected to the outside world. ElliQ may suggest music, podcasts, or audiobooks that the user may enjoy and may also recommend health activities such as walking when the user has been engaged in long-term sedentary activity.

2. ROBEAR
RIKEN and Sumitomo Riko Limited scientists have developed ROBEAR, a nursing robot that can do tasks such as lifting a patient from a bed in a wheelchair or supporting a patient who is standing but needs help.
A successor to RIBA (2009) and RIBA-II (2011), ROBEAR is lighter than its predecessors, weighing just 140 kilograms compared to RIBA-II’s 230 kilograms, and it incorporates several features that enable it to exert force in a gentle way.
This robot is like a giant, gentle, cartoon-shaped bear. It has actuators with a meager gear ratio, which enables joints to move very fast and accurately. It also includes three types of sensors: torque sensors and tactile rubber-type capability sensors that allow gentle movement and ensure that the robot carries out power-intensive tasks such as lifting patients without jeopardizing them.

What robots help elderly people?
Care robots come in various shapes and sizes. Some are meant for physical care, including machines that can help lift older people if they’re unable to get up by themselves; assist with mobility and exercise; monitor their physical activity and detect falls; feed them; and help them take a bath or use the toilet.
