Abstract
The rate of ageing in the world is extremely fast. Elderly people are becoming more and more prevalent all over the world. The need for services like hospitals, retirement communities, and assisted living facilities has increased as the proportion of older persons in the population rises. For legislators, medical experts, and society as a whole, recovering command over this populace's assumptions will introduce new difficulties. With the aid of smart robot technology, older people can live independent, satisfying lives while remaining safe and secure. As a result, the most notable aspect of this paper is an occy robot. An AI model is used to process facial recognition and speech data, and occy assists elderly people with daily tasks. Occy is more effective for home appliances and healthcare systems. Occy may do tasks like equipment control in the home, safety, and wellbeing sensing, travelling outside, emergency situations and everyday other tasks.
Top1. Introduction
Everywhere in the world, technology is a trend that has an impact on how people live. Fascinating illustrations of the technology of the future are robots (Aceto, G., Persico, V., & Pescapé, A., 2019). Robotics has significantly impacted both society and industry as technology has advanced (Chiacchio, F., Petropoulos, G., & Pichler, D, 2018). Adults with autism are already common in various professions, such as those in the healthcare, military, and domestic support sectors. Even though the development of cognitive and physical capacities is highly individual, many older people eventually require assistance with daily living activities. As a result, elderly individuals become dependent on informal or formal help services, which are time-consuming and expensive. It also reduces their perception of their own independence. Most elderly people want to remain in their comfortable homes for as long as possible. Service robots may be able to offer support, enabling and extending independent lives in the home setting. The needs of this group are becoming an increasingly important concern for health professionals, government officials, caregivers, and families as the world's population continues to expand.
Due to these factors, robots that assist the elderly are sometimes perceived as serving an authoritarian purpose since they enable people to take care of themselves without assistance. Increasing the elderly population is frequently suggested as a solution to the growing senior citizen population. Actually, the utilization of robots in the senior consideration industry is expanding. There are many practical applications for AI methods. An AI model makes it feasible to develop digital smart systems, healthcare systems, and other applications (Carra, G., Argiolas, A., Bellissima, A., Niccolini, M., & Ragaglia, M, 2018). The most popular AI health care systems use deep learning to diagnose diseases, machine learning to create radiological models, automatic systems, and other techniques. The ageing of our current generation has created a greater need for new technology among older folks. The main arguments in favour of this are that there are insufficient hospital employees and that many people want to live as autonomously as possible rather than being institutionalised. Also require the utilisation of cutting-edge technologies and a sufficient number of healthcare personnel. Robotics now plays an important role in the care of the elderly. One level of household use robot that is specifically designed for use at home is a service robot (Demir, K. A., Döven, G., & Sezen, B, 2019) (Jannat, U. K., Kumar, M. M., & Islam, S. A.,2022). Both scientifically and commercially, the industry of building robots specifically for the house is growing.
Occy robot needs to be capable of a variety of tasks to be most useful in the home, including home monitoring, device control, personal help, and entertainment. The absence of healthcare and the level of living for the elderly will both improve as more robots are created to interact with humans and provide the kind of care that is frequently supplied by a licenced therapist. The approach taken is to develop and reassure the elderly person. The major objective is to create a robot that can assist like a friend an elderly person with needful work and household chores on a daily basis.
Key Terms in this Chapter
Bins: Bins typically consist of a combination of hardware and software components, such as robotic arms, sensors, and control systems.
Contact Detection: In robotics, contact detection is essential for ensuring safe and accurate operation of robots.
Elder Care: Elder care refers to the specialized care and support provided to older adults who may require assistance with activities of daily living or who have health conditions that require ongoing management.
Occy Robot: Occy robots are often designed to be user-friendly and able to interact with humans in a natural way.
Real-Time Analysis: Real-time analysis typically involves the use of sophisticated data processing and analysis tools, such as data streaming platforms, machine learning algorithms, and artificial intelligence models.
Image Recognition: Image recognition is the process of identifying and detecting objects or features within an image or a video sequence. It is a subfield of computer vision and artificial intelligence that involves training algorithms to recognize patterns and features in visual data.
Facial Recognition: Facial recognition is a type of biometric technology that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze and identify human faces. The technology works by capturing an image or video of a person's face and then comparing it to a database of stored images to find a match.
