Status and prospects of elderly service robots

Along with the increase of life expectancy and the decrease of fertility rate, the phenomenon of population aging is becoming more and more serious, but at the same time, the shortage of elderly care service personnel is getting bigger and bigger, and the existing model of elderly care has been very difficult to adapt to the needs of the elderly, and the use of elderly care robots has gradually come into the view of the people and has become a hot topic in the development of the research and industry. In response to this requirement, a brief description of the service robot and its related technology has been studied. This paper analyses the elderly service robots and the elderly service robot industry, and concludes that there is enough imagination and creative space for the development of robots and the robot industry. In the face of the fact that the market for elderly service robots is optimistic, this paper argues that there is a need to occupy the research, development and manufacturing market, and sale of elderly service robots as soon as possible as a strategic industrial high ground, so that robots can establish an emotional connection with elderly users and usher in a bright future.

Abstract

Along with the increase of life expectancy and the decrease of fertility rate, the phenomenon of population aging is becoming more and more serious, but at the same time, the shortage of elderly care service personnel is getting bigger and bigger, and the existing model of elderly care has been very difficult to adapt to the needs of the elderly, and the use of elderly care robots has gradually come into the view of the people and has become a hot topic in the development of the research and industry. In response to this requirement, a brief description of the service robot and its related technology has been studied. This paper analyses the elderly service robots and the elderly service robot industry, and concludes that there is enough imagination and creative space for the development of robots and the robot industry. In the face of the fact that the market for elderly service robots is optimistic, this paper argues that there is a need to occupy the research, development and manufacturing market, and sale of elderly service robots as soon as possible as a strategic industrial high ground, so that robots can establish an emotional connection with elderly users and usher in a bright future.
