      Hey,
      Being honest I haven’t helped them yet. My hope is that one day I will have a robot that will. The robot will live with them, it will keep them company – especially if they live alone which many of them do. It will be able to do tasks for the person – so if an old person is tired and the doorbell goes, for example, the robot can do it. The robot will be able to measure and keep track of the person’s health – remind them to take medication and call a doctor of they get sick/fall. These are just some things…
      To do this, there remains several really big engineering challenges to overcome. I dedicate myself to solving these
