As aging populations grow, the demand for innovative solutions to address issues like loneliness, cognitive decline, and physical limitations increases. The studied social robots utilize machine learning and advanced sensor technology to deliver real-time adaptive interactions, including cognitive exercises, daily task assistance, and emotional support. Through responsive and personalized features, the robot enhances user autonomy and improves quality of life by monitoring physical and emotional states and adapting to the needs of each user. This study also examines the challenges of implementing assistive robots in home and healthcare settings, offering insights into the evolving role of AI-powered social robots in eldercare.application/pdfeng© 2025 by the authors.
