Given increased risks to health care workers and surges in demand for ‘touchless’ and automated services, we are now experiencing exponential growth in demand for robotics.

“Social Isolation” was a problem for society before COVID19. We know that seniors need more companionship – robots can help.

Time for Social Cohesion during COVID

While everyone is doing their part to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we must also do our part to reduce the risk of negative health outcomes associated with social isolation.

Family and Friends

Family Day prompts us to consider how to best help seniors keep in touch with their loved ones, their social circle, people who care – whether they are biological family, friends or other valued community members.

Social robots can’t work alone!
