Italian research and development robot nanny can monitor the health status of elderly people living alone

Release date: 2014-06-04

With the aging of China's society, nowadays, there are more and more empty nesters, which has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. Many children have to work hard to take care of the elderly after marriage, and the employment of a full-time nanny will invisibly increase the financial burden. How to solve this dilemma? Recently, the Italian National Research Council has developed a robotic nanny that is expected to improve the daily living and healthy life of elderly people living alone.

This robotic nanny, funded by the European Union, aims to build a bridge between elderly people living alone and escorts and medical centers. Currently, this project has entered the testing phase, and a 94-year-old grandmother in Italy is its beneficiary.

Leia Mina Larry is a poetess and is also an avid online blogger. Although she is 94 years old this year, she still lives alone in an apartment in Rome, Italy. On weekdays, the grandmother's family and friends rarely take time to accompany her. The grandmother doesn't feel lonely because she has the care and companionship of Mr. Robin. Mr. Robin in the mouth of the grandmother is a remotely operated monitoring robot currently being tested in many European countries. It is not only responsible for monitoring the health of Leia 24 hours a day, but is also a communication tool connecting Leia with the outside world. Whether it's a video chat with your family or a doctor's consultation, it's easy to do with this robot. Speaking of Mr. Robin who accompanied her all day, Leia was very excited and called it a companion: "I am very happy that they can choose me to participate in this project. I think this is very interesting. Although this robot is not perfect. And there are some areas that need improvement, but overall it is already a very good companion. Because I know that if I have any accidents, such as a fall or fainting, I can call the outside world through a remote control device. When I press the robot With the green button on the body, you can video with the doctor so that they don't have to come from home to treat me."

Mr. Robin's monitoring robot is part of the GiraffPlus project funded by the European Union. It aims to establish a good communication bridge between users and medical care centers, and to provide communication and communication services for the elderly in need of care by remotely manipulating robots. Gabriel, the manager of the project technology center, explained how the robot works: "The top of the robot is equipped with an LED display and speakers, and built-in sensors to collect and detect various physiological data of the user, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, body temperature, etc. External sensors distributed in all corners of the room can also monitor the dangers of gas leaks, water leakage, and intrusion by outsiders in the rooms where the elderly live. It is a well-known babysitter."

Marcelo, the manager of the health center, believes that monitoring robots such as Mr. Robin can largely slow down the daily work of the medical center: "This high-tech product is really helpful to our work. We All I have to do is collect patient information and build a database. With this robot, you can understand the patient's condition around the clock."

At present, the robot is being tested in Italy, Spain and Sweden. After improvement, it is expected to be put into large-scale commercial production in 2015. I believe that in the near future, there will be such a thoughtful robotic nanny in your home.
