In Hangzhou, a senior care center is welcoming a new member that’s changing the way elderly care is delivered—a robot dog. Weighing 14 kilograms, this advanced companion is designed to help residents take their medicine on time, ensuring better health management.
Equipped with high-precision laser radar and a camera, the robot dog can independently plan routes and navigate around obstacles, making it an invaluable assistant in busy care environments. Beyond medication reminders, it interacts with the elderly, delivers items, and even accompanies them on leisurely walks, providing both practical help and emotional support.
Developed at Westlake University, this robot dog represents a significant step forward in integrating technology into daily care routines. Its upcoming mass production signals a potential revolution in how elderly care centers worldwide might adopt similar innovations to improve the quality of life for their residents.
