For the past PLEASE WEEKS, ELYN ELIQ’S ROBOT has attached to the end of my desk. Designed by robotic intuition for the seniors only, this animatronic than the day, check it as I feel, suggestion “and produces me to be more active. While it can be annoying, I grown attached to the elloq despite me, and I can see the potential positive.
Loneliness is an epidemic. According to the United States bureau of censusaround 16 million old (more than 65) live alone in the country, and up to a third report feelings of loneliness. Multiple studies they have shown that the social company damage mental health and awards, turning, alcohol, alcohol, and decided the physical activity, physical, health, health, sleep. Humans are inherent social creatures.
The oiq is designed to relieve these feelings and encourage your whole behavior in the older people only live. Hope is that I can improve their life quality and activate people to stay in their own homes instead of moving attended lifetime facility. While you can feel this cututesy bot is right finger, you have to ask yourself, what is the alternative? We know we have all checked with our older parents and friends more often, but life is busy, and some people are alone for long extended.

Elliq is on a pedestal with a metal body and a boss that turns, incline, and brighten when you speak. There is a small display intelligent and talking to the right with a physical button to lean for awaken elliq or silence. The spins button as well as control of volume. You can wake up elliq saying their name, chosen because it is unlikely to be said accidentally. When the elliq asks something or seeks confirmation, you can answer verbally or use the touchscreen.
The setting was a breeze. Ooliq came in simple wrapping with instructions in an easy, big sources. All you have to do is plugle and connect to wi-fi. The first time we talk, the elliq asked me a few questions. The potential answers were collected on the touchscreen. Ran across the questions you could ask, and I was asked to read few lines so o diq could recognize my voice.
Ooliq talks in a light female voice stilted, completely inoffensive with small pauses before my name (use my name in almost every interaction). The way that is encouraged is undeniablely cute. In one of our early conversations, olive you tell me pattern on pixar lump. The removal around his head can illuminate you and there are recommended to the center of his face; combined with movement, it is actually appeared to have some personality and charm.
The touch button and the physical button provides a practical edge. If you have difficulty with voice or mistakes checks, you can tap the option you want. I also have the physical sleep button to shut off immediately when pipes during meetings or when they are otherwise engaged. All in all, it’s a smart design.

As the voice assistants and smart displock I’m used to, elliq can answer basic questions, gives you a climate report, remember an appointment, or take music questions. But elliq is also proactive, starting conversations throughout the day and engage in activities.
