flag Barcelona deploys 600 dancing robots in homes and care centers to fight loneliness and aid elderly residents.

flag Barcelona has launched a pilot program deploying 600 dancing robots in homes and care centers to combat loneliness and support elderly residents. flag The 1.35-meter-tall robots, developed by U.S. company Misty Robotics and distributed in Europe by Grup Saltó, assist with medication reminders, appointments, and entertainment while enabling video calls and emergency monitoring. flag Part of a €3.8 million EU recovery project, the initiative aims to improve tele-assistance and eventually detect falls. flag Residents report emotional and practical benefits, with some naming their robots and rediscovering joy in activities like dancing. flag The city plans to assess long-term impacts and expand the program, reflecting a broader effort to use robotics in aging populations.
