Care Robot

Care robots aim to assist individuals with daily tasks and enhance their quality of life, particularly focusing on elderly care and individuals with disabilities. Current research emphasizes developing robots with advanced capabilities in physical assistance (e.g., blanket manipulation, safe physical interaction) and intuitive human-robot interaction, often employing machine learning models like convolutional neural networks and Gaussian Mixture Models for tasks such as object recognition and change detection. This field is significant due to the growing elderly population and increasing demand for assistive technologies, with ongoing research addressing both technical challenges and the ethical considerations of deploying robots in care settings.
