1 week agoA New AI Robot Is Helping Seniors Combat Loneliness
ElliQ, a proactive AI companion for older adults, initiates conversations, reduces loneliness significantly, and is being distributed by state programs.
It has two AI systems: the first one works within the robot, which processes the language. The other works on the internet servers. This one processes the 'vision', which allows the robotic SwitchBot AI Pet to use its cameras as eyes, microphones as ears, and speakers as a mouth. To make it more toy-like, the company dresses up the device with a fuzzy, furry material like fur.
