'MIND OF ITS OWN': The ElliQ remembers things you say to use in future conversations, its face lights up while talking to you, and it even tells jokes.
In Silicon Valley, robots are filling staffing shortages to the surprise and delight of guests.
Six years of research enabled Intuition Robotic's ElliQ to be tailored for older adults who may not be adept at using robotic technology, yet it does far more than smart speakers, like Alexa, which simply execute commands. It listens and responds differently. "Remembering what people tell you, using that in future conversations, showing them that you acknowledge what they said, showing them that you listen and take that into account in planning future interactions with that individual," said Skuler.
The speaker was designed in San Francisco and Israel. Its face lights up when having a conversation. It offers exercise routines and plays trivia games to enhance physical and mental prowess. And yes, it also tells jokes.There's a growing care gap facing seniors and their families. ElliQ tries to provide isolated seniors with solutions, such as going to a doctor's appointment.ElliQ also has video conferencing so families can see how their loved ones are doing.
