Social RoboticsElliQ eldercare companion robot goes on general sale
Intuition Robotics opened sales of its tabletop companion for older adults on a subscription model.
After years of development and beta testing, Intuition Robotics made ElliQ available through its website for a 250 dollar upfront fee and 30 dollars a month on an annual plan. The device is designed to keep older adults who live independently engaged rather than to do chores, offering workouts, health information, check-ins with loved ones and transport booking. The company said typical users interact with it about 20 times a day. ElliQ's launch made it one of the few social robots sold specifically to combat loneliness in later life.
