Companionship Robots
Companionship robots are designed to provide social interaction and emotional support to individuals, particularly the elderly or those with disabilities. These robots can engage in conversations, play games, and even remind users to take medications, helping to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Many companionship robots use artificial intelligence to learn about their users' preferences and adapt their interactions accordingly. Some popular examples include PARO, a therapeutic robot seal, and Jibo, a social robot that can recognize faces and respond to voice commands. These robots aim to enhance the quality of life for their users through companionship and assistance.
