The Application of Artificial Intelligence Robots in Elderly Care

Abstract

As global populations age, the demand for effective elderly care solutions continues to grow. Artificial Intelligence (AI) robots have emerged as a promising tool to support aging individuals, improve their quality of life, and alleviate the burden on human caregivers. This paper explores the application of AI-powered robots in elderly care, focusing on their roles in daily assistance, health monitoring, companionship, and emergency response. It discusses the technological advancements that enable such robots to interact naturally with humans and respond to their needs in real time. Moreover, the ethical, emotional, and societal implications of replacing or supplementing human caregivers with machines are critically examined. The findings suggest that while AI robots cannot fully replace human interaction, they serve as valuable aids in enhancing the independence and safety of older people. Future developments and interdisciplinary collaboration will be key to optimizing their use in real-world care settings.
