Social robots have proven to enhance quality of life

Technology plays an increasing role in our lives – some might say our reliance on computers makes us more disconnected from each other.

That’s where social robots like Matilda are different.

Designed to sense and respond to individual moods and behaviours and deliver a personalised experience, Matilda allows humans to feel acknowledged and experience increased connectedness and wellbeing.

The technology has been proven through extensive research and activations by the team at HCI Innovation , led by Professor Rajiv Khosla.

Funding from Alzheimers Australia, with the support of the City of Whittlesea and the Brotherhood of St Laurence, facilitated successful trials in Melbourne households in 2013. The overwhelmingly positive outcomes included:

  • improved social connectivity
  • resilience to cope with daily life, plus
  • respite for carers and partners.

The team applied the insights from those trials to further develop Matilda’s features and enhance the ability to customise the robots for individual needs.

Successful deployments of Matilda services are already well established in disability, aged care, early childhood and primary school learning sectors across Hong Kong and Japan.
