University of New Hampshire researchers are developing robots to assist in-home caregivers for individuals with dementia. The MARSS project, funded by the National Institute on Aging, aims to create robots like Robbie that can play exercise videos, offer reminders, and help with daily tasks, complementing human care. This initiative addresses the growing need for caregiving support as the population ages and a shortage of human caregivers persists.
