1. KURI-The
Friendly
Home Robot
STEVIE-The
Elderly Care
Robot

2. STEVIE
• It is created by a team of ‘Trinity College, Dublin’.
• It is unveiled in November,2017.
• It is a cute, little 5 feet robot.
• It is built to respond to the needs of an elderly
person living alone.
• It can also perform range of functions like,
medication reminders and light conversation to
video calls with family members.
• The robot has a similar form to a person as it
possesses two arms and a ‘head’ interface.

3. CONT…
• Stevie’s face comprises a screen which can host
pictorial prompters for those with hearing
impairments.
• It can communicate through a variety of modalities,
such as speech, gesture and facial expression
• And even be used to independently contact
emergency services if the user becomes
unresponsive.
• It provides companionship to the elderly person and
reduces boredom and stimulate mental activity. It
can have basic conversations with its users and play
a series of simple games.

4. AI TECHNOLOGIES UESD…
• It has the key functions of
 speech and
 movement
largely controlled by his human masters.
• It is programmed to recognise what is normal and abnormal behaviour for an elderly
person and notify someone if something is out of the ordinary.
• ‘Room sensor’ detects a user may have fallen over, a human operator can take control of
the robot, use it to investigate the event and contact the emergency services if necessary.
• Stevie can also regulate room temperatures and light levels.

5. CONT…
It can turn household appliances on and off.
If he notices any unusual behaviour of the elderly person it will
immediately notify.
The robot is mobile and uses cameras, and depth, tactile, inertial and
voltage sensors to interact intelligently with its environment, while on-
board processors and wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) diversify
its potential uses.
In addition to performing functional tasks, the robot can interact socially
with residents.
