NY state is kickstarting a new program of supplying free robot companions to the elderly.
🤖 The future is here... The robot in question, named ElliQ, has been called a "more proactive version of Siri or Alexa."
- ElliQ is able to create small talk with its owner, remind them to exercise and hydrate, help assist with daily reminders, make video calls with friends and loved ones, and more.
The project is part of a greater effort to reduce elderly loneliness, which impacts millions of Americans, and can be as deadly as smoking about a pack of cigarettes each day.
