Intuition Robotics Ltd. has unveiled the latest edition of its AI companion for older adults, ElliQ 3. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company said that the social robot has been proven to benefit seniors’ health, social connectedness, and independence.<\/p>\n

The latest version of ElliQ is integrated with generative AI to bring the technology into seniors’ everyday lives, said Intuition Robotics. The company<\/a> added that its $25 million in funding<\/a> from August 2023 enabled its software and hardware updates.<\/p>\n

Intuition Robotics said ElliQ’s new capabilities will help expand the availability and accessibility of the robot. They are intended to help the robot further enhance the independence and wellness of older adults and decrease feelings of loneliness. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s astounding to see that the first people to live with and build long-term relationships with an AI are individuals in their 80s and 90s,\u201d said Dor Skuler, co-founder and CEO of Intuition Robotics, in a release<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this relationship, ElliQ is proving to be highly effective in reducing older adults\u2019 sense of loneliness, improving health and independence, and increasing social connectedness,” he added. “The launch of ElliQ 3.0 allows us to reach more older adults and expand partnerships with government services for the aging and the healthcare ecosystem while offering valuable insights and context.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
