Project MyRobot

A research project promoted by researchers at the URV and coordinated by Dr. Blanca Deusdad makes a robot seal available to elderly people to improve their quality of life and that of their environment. The first day of fieldwork should allow researchers to relate the residents’ reaction when they come into contact with the robot with the preconceived ideas they have about these devices for companionship and personal assistance.
