China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced trials for intelligent aged care robots in response to its aging population and a deficit of caregivers. They are seeking Chinese firms to develop at least 200 robots for deployment in 20 different locations. The robots will be designed for multiple functions, including assisting with mobility, daily tasks, and providing communication to reduce loneliness among the elderly. This initiative aligns with similar efforts in Japan to tackle their own demographic challenges.
The Ministry wants organizations capable of building at least 200 bots and trialing them in 20 locations, addressing the country’s aging population crisis.
Beijing's initiative includes robots that assist with daily tasks, detect dementia symptoms, and provide companionship, aiming to enhance elderly care.
