BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A Belgian robotics firm is lending a fleet of robots to elderly care homes to help residents stay connected after the government banned visitors to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The company, Zorabots, said it would initially lend 60 of its “James” robots to the homes but could make hundreds more available. The 1.2 metre-tall butler-style machines can navigate rooms and connect video calls through Facebook messenger.

These assistant robots accompany elderly people on a daily basis, respond to many requests (surfing the internet, searching for recipes, reading, playing music, reminding elderly people to take their medication, detecting falls, etc.), and connect to other connected equipment in the house to control everything (lighting, alarm, roller shutters, heating, etc.).
However, they cannot replace human contact so necessary for elderly people.
