ABSTRACT

In 2023, the population of people aged 60 and above in China accounts for 19.8% of the total population. As society progresses towards an increasingly aged demographic, there is a growing focus on the well-being of elderly individuals. Both physical and mental declines have become more prevalent among the elderly, leading to increased levels of depression and psychological vulnerability. The number of elderly individuals suffering from depression-related conditions is on the rise, and there is a growing issue of elderly ndividuals living alone. To address this challenge, artificial intelligence (AI) is being employed to assist in providing care to the elderly. Intelligent robots are used to aid in therapy for those in need among the elderly population. In order to prevent conditions like dementia in the elderly, AI-powered robots are used to provide personalized care and assess their health status. Different types of care and treatment are administered to various groups of elderly individuals based on their specific needs. The analysis of AI products that incorporate anthropomorphic elements plays a positive role in satisfying the emotional needs of the elderly and related design aspects. With the increase in human lifespan, the role of artificial intelligence in the silver industry is accelerating, and there are high expectations for broader developments in the field of intelligent robotics in the future.
