UBC study looks at using social robots to help seniors
Description
September 20, 2023
A new study is looking at using AI-equipped robots to be companions for seniors living in care. Researchers will study whether they help with loneliness and provide a sense of belonging. Early observations show women and men react differently to the robots. Men think of them as friends and women as family members.
