  "Robots", a thing that sounds quite distant, but today, with the ever-changing technology, they are getting closer and closer to us. The starting point of the invention and use of robots is to serve human life better, and our life has become more convenient. With the aging of the world, robots have added a new role - "care workers."

  Previously, Toyota companies in Japan shared a video showing their newly developed robot. The robot is 1.22 meters tall, has a clip-like arm, and the bottom is a wheel that can move on a flat surface. The robot can be controlled by a tablet computer to pour water into the human end, providing some simple care for the disabled.

  Not only in Japan, but now China's robots for the elderly are gradually being promoted. In China's Jinan, Hangzhou, Tianjin and other local pension institutions have introduced "endowment robots", the main job of these "ageing robots" is to the elderly Chatting is boring. There are sensors on these robots. If the elderly have an accident such as a fall, there will be a text message to the manager to send out an alarm signal. The family or the caregiver can operate the robot's camera function through the mobile phone and computer to understand the situation of the elderly.

  As the old-age robots slowly enter our lives, many people will question this at this time. They are worried that robots can really take care of the elderly like real people. After all, they are just machines, no emotions. How can we really care for the elderly? And many people think that robots are more about isolating humans, not helping humans, and everyone is worried about their personal information. Even if the robot does a good job elsewhere, it still cannot satisfy the emotional needs of the elderly for their children.

  I have to admit that the current old-age robots still have certain defects in technology, and they have high requirements in the identification of drugs, human interaction, and accuracy of movement. Although these functions have been technically realized, they are recognized. There is still a lot of uncertainty in the success rate.

  As aging becomes more and more serious, the workload of elderly care is getting bigger and bigger. The use of robot care workers can greatly alleviate the work pressure of elderly care. However, there are still some difficulties in the development of old-age robots. The first one is the For safety issues, the robot can only be put into use if it is safe.
