David Hanson’s “Grace” May Be the Answer to Shortage of Senior Health Aides
|
Ever turn on the TV, scan Facebook, or check out viral news stories online and see Sophia, an extremely life-like humanoid robot? Well, if you haven’t seen her, Sophia is a robot that is designed to look very human that has gotten lots of attention during the pandemic for her ability to help people who are lonely and socially isolated, particularly seniors.
Sophia, who was designed by Hanson Robotics, is capable of imitating human gestures and facial expressions. She’s equipped to answer certain questions and engage in simple conversations. Cameras are embedded in her eyes, and along with computer algorithms, she’s able to see things and can track faces, maintain eye contact, and recognize people...
Another Similar Robot is Created Specifically for the Medical Sector
Since designing Sophia, Hanson Robotics has developed a prototype robot to engage with seniors and those isolated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike Sophia, the Grace robot is dressed like a nurse, has a thermal camera in her chest to take temperatures and measure responsiveness, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose patients, and can speak English, Mandarin, and
Cantonese.
