Hanson Robotics unveils Grace, a humanoid nurse prototype for the pandemic

Hanson Robotics revealed Grace, a prototype healthcare humanoid dressed in a nurse's uniform and aimed at older people and those isolated during the pandemic. It was described as using AI to help assess patients, a thermal camera to take temperatures, and conversation to offer social interaction and talk therapy. Commentators argued it would at best supplement human carers and questioned whether a robot could provide real emotional connection, noting past criticism that Hanson had overstated Sophia's abilities. Grace became a focal point for debate about humanoid robots in care.
