On November 28th, the British media said that the height of 3 feet (about 0.91 meters - this net note), with a blue or yellow antenna, head shape like a toaster "A Tie", is the first batch of China One of the "Smart Care Robots", these robots will be used throughout China to ease the heavy pressure on the elderly care system.
According to the British "Daily Telegraph" website reported on November 26, this is an ambitious plan. But in a pilot nursing home in the program, the old people are more likely to regard "A-Tie" as a companion to singing and dancing. These high-tech products replace the family members who are too busy to visit their families.
According to the report, since May this year, 10 robots have been living with the old people of the Hangzhou Social Welfare Center. "Atie" is one of them.
In the new five-year plan, China proposed to build a service robot industry with annual sales revenue of 30 billion yuan. Service robots will be used in many industries including nursing homes. The plan proposes that smart care robots play a role in assisting the elderly and the disabled as well as providing medical rehabilitation.
However, the "Daily Telegraph" reporter found in an interview with the nursing home in Hangzhou that the main auxiliary "treatment" provided by the robot is that the old people sang together under the leadership of "Atie".
Ms. Shen, a retired gynaecologist, said: "Looking at these robots singing and dancing can make us happy, because we are old and can't jump anymore."
According to the report, “A-Tie†shuttles between the wheelchair and the walker, waving the arm rhythmically with the traditional folk songs and modern dance music played by the built-in speakers.
The performance of "A Tie" attracted a group of old people to sing together with a beat. There are also people who smile or wave, just like a room old man who welcomes a friend's 6-year-old grandson to join their party.
Some of the weaker and older elderly people leaned forward from the wheelchair and stood up in the direction of "Atta".
A Zhejiang company that made "Atie" said that "Atie" is more than just a jukebox that can dance. Sun Jian, the company's marketing manager, said that “Atie†can also undertake some important medical functions, including measuring pulse, detecting urine samples, and reminding nursing staff when to routinely check patients. He also said that the company is negotiating to introduce "A-Tie" into more nursing institutions.
"A Tie" can remind the old people to take medicine. But for Ms. Shen, “Atie†can never replace nursing staff. She said: "If the robot reminds me that the medicine I am taking is different from what I remember, then I only believe in myself."
Sun Jian said that the "A-Tie" song and dance provided important emotional support to the old people. He described it as "family companionship."
Most of the elderly in the welfare center said that they have few visitors because their children are busy in other cities.
According to the report, China is one of the few countries that legally stipulates that children have the obligation to support their parents. The law, which has been in force since 2013, also requires family members to care about the spiritual needs of the elderly and often visit or greet the elderly.
Ms. Shen said she can understand that when the surgeon's son can't visit her often because he is busy taking care of his family.
Ms. Shen’s friend, 82-year-old Zhao Qiuying, also realized that sometimes adult children have a more important mission.
Ms. Zhao, who used to be a dancer, has two children and two grandchildren. She said: "In the past, I always looked forward to seeing me. But since I have a robot, it doesn't matter if they rarely come to see me."
