Significance of Robots in Providing Elder Care
Robots are becoming essential in eldercare and healthcare to address resource constraints and the challenges of an aging population. They assist with repetitive tasks, patrol facilities, and monitor residents, enabling caregivers to focus on personal interactions and improving outcomes. Social robots help reduce loneliness among older adults, while telenursing robots and hospital automation enhance efficiency, allowing remote patient care and better health monitoring. Although implementation faces challenges, such as communal voice recognition and adaptability, robots augment caregiving rather than replace it, improving emotional well-being, reducing staff strain, and lowering costs in healthcare settings.
