Intuition Robotics Tailors ElliQ to Help the Aged Overcome Isolation
From: Robotics Business Review - 01/11/2017

As populations age worldwide, older people are often isolated because of
health and mobility problems and difficulty with using new technologies. A
robot named ElliQ aims to change that.

Intuition Robotics today emerged from "stealth mode" and announced ElliQ,
which is designed to help older adults stay socially and physically active.

interactions to communicate with end users. However, "her" artificial
intelligence capabilities and design are uniquely designed to serve the
elderly, according to Dor Skuler, founder and CEO of Intuition Robotics.
