“#Meet Grace, the healthcare robot COVID-19 created<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Hong Kong team behind celebrity humanoid robot Sophia is launching a new prototype, Grace, targeted at the healthcare market and designed to interact with the elderly and those isolated by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Dressed in a blue nurse\u2019s uniform, Grace has Asian features, collar-length brown hair and a thermal camera in her chest to take your temperature and measure your responsiveness. She uses artificial intelligence to diagnose a patient and can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can visit with people and brighten their day with social<\/a> stimulation \u2026 but can also do talk therapy, take bio readings and help healthcare providers,\u201d Grace told Reuters as she stood next to her \u201csister\u201d, Sophia, in creator Hanson Robotics\u2019 Hong Kong workshop.<\/p>\n

Grace\u2019s resemblance to a healthcare professional and capacity for social interaction is aimed at relieving the burden of front-line hospital staff overwhelmed during the pandemic, said founder David Hanson.<\/p>\n

Humanoid robot Grace, developed by Hanson Robotics and designed for the healthcare market to interact and comfort the elderly and isolated people, especially those suffering during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, is seen at the company\u2019s lab in Hong Kong, China June 8, 2021.<\/figcaption>

\u201cA human-like app<\/a>earance facilitates trust and natural engagement because we are wired for human face-to-face interactions,\u201d Hanson said, explaining how Grace can simulate the action of more than 48 major facial muscles and has a comforting demeanor designed to look a little like anime<\/a> characters, often a fusion of Asian and Western styles.<\/p>\n

Awakening Health intends to mass-produce a beta version of Grace by August, said David Lake, chief executive of the joint venture between Hanson Robotics and Singularity Studio and there are plans to fully deploy her next year in locations including Hong Kong, mainland China, Japan and Korea.<\/p>\n

The cost of making the robots, now akin to luxury car pricing, will decrease once the company is manufacturing tens or hundreds of thousands of units, Hanson added.<\/p>\n

Grace\u2019s launch comes as the global impact of the coronavirus has made the need for humanoid robots urgent, said Kim Min-Sun, a communicology professor at the University of Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Stuck at home during COVID-19 lockdowns, many people have had their mental states affected with negative thoughts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they can get help through the deployment of these social robots in intimate settings, certainly it will have a positive impact on society,\u201d she said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
