    It could help tackle loneliness in our elderly because when you hear horrific stories of carers harming vulnerable elderly people it’s sickening yeah they do deserve human connection I do agree but it might help them

    I think in a similar way why some of us would turn on the tv just for background noise while we work, it's sense of not being alone that goes a long way. It would be nice for elderly I think to have a robot that can be around and just do "small talks" with them, so they would feel less lonely.

    I would take a robot anytime especially as they become better programmed for home health care. Far too many times you hear absolute horror stories in the US of elderly patients who are physically and mentally abused by home health care or nursing home personnel who are extremely low paid and many times without background checks. A robot might in essence not have human emotions but is that a bad thing when your not sure of the very people who are supposed to be helping you. I am 76 years of age and I would definitely consider a robot as a part of my home health care assistance. Japan has had robots for years because of their every growing elderly population.

    It's very charming the way the elderly gentleman interacts with the robot. He's clearly just going along with a bit of fun.
    It's a terrible insult to humanity that scientists can say that " of course . . ." the "robot doesn't form a relationship with the human . . .", ". . . it's just a machine".
    This sort of statement degrades humans , whether old or young to soulless "automatons"!

    I am doing a dissertation on this topic. I just want to say that Social Robots are not to take over human interaction but to work alongside healthcare professionals. There will still be visits from health care professionals and also they will collect data on how the elderly are interacting with the Social robots. Imagine if we had another pandemic again which will happen at some point, next time we can be more prepared. The use of these can convert a great area of telecommunications with G.P and other professions, music therapy, Memory box and even groups Dementia all engaging together. Also, Social robots can be used to prompt for food and drink and help remember medication. It will definitely be the way forward to improve the quality of care.

    I'm working on this exact project, I believe that a robot helper could be a huge benefit to the elderly, to complete tasks and from a safety point of view. I'm concerned when robots are used to combat loneliness, I strongly believe that they should help them remember past loves, help keep the memory alive, not replace them, a robot is a tool, a highly effective tool, but a tool, nothing more. a robot is capable of many incredible things and I'm all for making this possible, but a robot is a car, a toaster, a phone. love cannot be programed.

      Some people don’t have children or they live in different states, have children of their own, disabled children,etc. that doesn’t mean peoples children or grandchildren don’t see them or help them. It’s just they can’t be there all the time. Now my one grandma is very lonely and is now having trouble walking and stuff so I’m not half and half living with her to help her and keep her less lonely. Plus I love her and want to spend time with her and keep her safe. My aunt(her daughter has a child with a disability and lives out of state) but she comes and stays a week every few months still, calls her every day, and our whole family video chat/call with her every day.

    What a horrific idea. Today I saw a contribution by Mark Easton about "pepper the robot" in a care home, supposedly listening to a gentleman talking about his experiences in WW2. Then a "scientist" came on saying that it was not important whether the robot listened to people, but that the robot appeared to care about people.
    Isn't this what our government and social care is all about. It doesn't matter that authority doesn't care about people as long as they can keep up the charade of "appearing" to care about people!?

      JamieCurrant you make a good point, as far as caring for groups. I know elders are neglected as is, so I have hesitations, but I'd give it a chance. As far as connecting on Facebook, many older people don't have interest in social media and it can be difficult to learn how to navigate at an older age. Idk, just my two cents
