Elderly companion robots

The body features a matte organic white coating, aligning with the 2025 “organic white” design trend, conveying a sense of technological purity and approachability. The surface is coated with a Morandi warm-toned soft-touch gel, offering a comfortable, non-slip, and stain-resistant texture that eliminates the cold, mechanical feel. The rounded, Baymax-inspired bionic form is complemented by a retractable support pillar and a three-wheel adaptive chassis, ensuring both stability and flexible mobility. An embedded curved display on the abdomen enhances emotional connection through dynamic expressions and medication reminder interfaces. A hidden storage compartment within the support pillar enables discreet functionality. The retractable pillar adapts to elderly users’ sitting and standing scenarios, with adjustable font sizes on the screen and a playful, animated interface to foster remote grandparent-grandchild interactions, seamlessly blending technology with a warm, caring experience.
Pioneering the “intergenerational emotional hub” design, the curved abdominal screen features a playful user interface (UI) that transforms medication reminders into a medium for grandparent-grandchild interaction, such as reminders triggered by grandchildren’s hand-drawn animations, breaking away from the one-way service logic of traditional robots. The world’s first retractable pillar design accommodates multiple interaction scenarios (sitting, standing, or lying down) for elderly users. Combined with Morandi soft-touch, warm-textured materials and a hidden storage compartment, supported by lightweight TPU joints and a three-wheel chassis, it delivers an emotional experience where “functionality blends into companionship,” addressing the market gap in intergenerational emotional connection.
The rounded, integrated form eliminates industrial aesthetics and structural redundancy, with a Morandi matte coating unifying the visual language for a minimalist aesthetic. The retractable pillar and hidden storage compartment consolidate functional modules, while the abdominal curved screen enables efficient interaction. This “less is more” design approach creates a human-centered, warm experience.
Drawing on the healing, rounded form of Baymax, the design mitigates the coldness of technology, directly addressing the need for warm companionship in home-based elderly care. The Morandi soft-touch material and adjustable structure transform cinematic emotional symbols into a practical tool for intergenerational interaction, balancing aesthetics and functionality to deliver a warm and practical home experience.
