Subject: Robots providing care
Latest technology info:
Trials in California of using robots to assist Alzheimer's patients have
found that equipping the robots with a screen showing the face of their
carer or doctor makes the robots much more acceptable to patients with
advanced dementia, who are prepared to conduct a conversation with the
screen.
