In South Korea, 12,000 robotic nannies were issued to the elderly: how they work.

Functions of the robot dolls

The dolls are equipped with ChatGPT, allowing them to communicate with their owners, remind them to take their medications, and monitor their health using built-in sensors. In case of danger, the 'nanny-robot' can notify relatives or social workers.

Popularity of Hyodol among pensioners

To date, over 12,000 pensioners have received such assistants, priced at 1,150 dollars. For many elderly people, Hyodol has become not just a means of care, but a true family member – they even hold tea parties with it and take walks in the park. Some pensioners ask to be buried together with these robots.
