An intelligent exercise companion robot for seniors
Millions of seniors face a dangerous paradox: they need physical activity to stay healthy, but fear of falling keeps them sedentary—accelerating their decline.
Over 14 million Americans aged 65+ experience a fall each year—that's roughly 1 in 4 seniors.
In 2021 alone, approximately 3 million seniors required emergency care for fall-related injuries.
The U.S. healthcare system spent approximately $80 billion treating non-fatal falls in 2020.
Real-time risk monitoring and posture analysis to prevent injuries before they happen.
Ergonomic compartment for groceries, medicine, or personal items during outdoor walks.
Families can track exercise status, heart rate, and location through a secure mobile app.
Intelligent AI pathfinding ensures the robot navigates safely around curbs and pedestrians.
Uses depth camera to scan environment and posture, providing real‑time 3D data for risk assessment.
Processes sensor data with on‑board AI to identify risks and generate precise movement commands.
Executes smooth, responsive movement through high‑torque motors and dynamic balance control.
Instantly alerts caregivers via 5G in emergencies and provides regular activity updates through a secure mobile app.
