Nuttede sociale robotter flytter ind på danske plejehjem - Viborg Kommune

LOVOT er en social robot med kunstig intelligens, som reagerer på berøring, tale og øjenkontakt. Robotten er udviklet i Japan og skal for første gang testes udenfor hjemlandet på plejehjem i Viborg, Skive og Aalborg kommuner. Forskere fra Aalborg Universitet følger testen for at undersøge, om den sociale robot kan øge trivslen for mennesker med demens.
