The humanoid robot is designed for applications in elderly care. Specifically, we are investigating the potential of using humanoid robots to (1) interview the elderly and assess their state (2) educate the elderly and the carers with aging related knowledge (3) lead group activities in community centers. In all these use cases, the empathetic and communicative abilities of a humanoid robot are indispensable. This project is a tripartite collaboration of HKUST, Haven of Hope Hospital and Hanson Robotics, and is part of an Area of Excellence project led by HKUST in collaboration with HKU and CUHK.
