AI Social robots entering our living room! | TOYLC26

About the Event

As care technology grows around the world, new products and services are helping seniors in Singapore. A new initiative in Singapore, called Care Tech Café, seeks to collaborate with stakeholders and experts to bring best practices and new technology to the community. The aim is to help seniors overcome barriers with using them.

In this session, we will share how initiatives like Care Tech Café empower seniors and caregivers with practical skills, encourage intergenerational bonding, and provide a platform to co-create with AI robots, smart wearables, and technology relevant to the local context.

About the speaker:

Dr Kelvin Tan is the Associate Professor and Head of Programme at Singapore University of Social Sciences. His research areas involve AI social robots, smart wearables, intergenerational relationships, and co-living spaces. He has worked extensively with partners like the Ministry of Education (Singapore), Temasek Foundation, and other industry players to seed projects in these areas.

This programme is suitable for seniors.

ReadSG

This programme is part of ReadSG. NLB's national movement to make reading a lifelong habit and a shared culture that nurtures curious minds, critical thinkers and informed citizens.

The ReadSG Challenge is NLB's national reading initiative that invites Singaporeans to rediscover the joy of reading through a simple daily reading habit. All it takes is 15 minutes a day to build a reading habit. That's about the time between three MRT stops, waiting for your bus, or enjoying your morning coffee.  Click here   to find out…
