Hyodol is a senior care robot developed by Hyodol Co., Ltd. Designed to look like a cute seven-year-old grandson, it is made of a soft and cozy fabric that provides seniors with a sense of psychological comfort when they hug or stroke it. Featuring the bright and affectionate voice of a young child, it uses friendly phrases like, "Grandma, it's time to take your medicine," or "Grandpa, I love you," helping to form a deep emotional bond.

Hyodol also performs various daily caregiving tasks. Equipped with touch sensors in its head, ears, hands, and back, it interacts by responding with cute remarks when seniors stroke it or hold its hand. Additionally, through a dedicated smartphone app, caregivers can set voice reminders for waking up, going to bed, meals, and medication times, helping seniors maintain a regular and healthy lifestyle. Its motion detection sensor monitors the senior's movements in real time and sends an immediate emergency alert to the caregiver or social worker if no movement is detected for a certain period. Furthermore, it offers cognitive enhancement and leisure content, such as dementia prevention quizzes, gymnastics, meditation, and trot music playback. The latest model is equipped with ChatGPT-based generative AI, enabling it to carry on contextually aware, two-way conversations.

Developed by Robocare, 'BOMI-2' is an autonomous home cognitive training robot that simultaneously cares for the brain health and daily routine of the elderly. It features a round, softly curved exterior and affectionately makes eye contact while displaying a variety of expressions through its front facial screen. It also builds emotional connections in everyday life through cute, natural gestures, such as moving its arms to give a warm greeting or performing rhythmic movements.

The most distinctive feature of BOMI-2 is its cognitive training program based on tool-type smart blocks specialized for brain health. It helps seniors manually hold plastic, cube-shaped smart blocks to solve puzzles or complete words. The activity of actively moving their hands to fit the plastic blocks together on a dedicated board linked to the robot stimulates seniors' fine motor skills and maximizes brain activity, demonstrating a highly effective role in preventing dementia.

Furthermore, it flawlessly performs daily care functions by meticulously providing voice reminders for medication and personal schedules at designated times, frequently checking on the senior's well-being, and sending immediate alerts to caregivers in the event of any abnormal signs or emergency situations.
