The running of nursing homes is being made easier with the rapid development of technology, despite there remaining many challenges faced in elderly care.
On a sunny afternoon in June, the fifth floor of Shenzhen Elderly Care Nursing Home was filled with laughter as two robots, named "Wukong" and "Xiaobao", danced to cheerful music, delighting the residents. "Every Friday afternoon, we have a one-hour robot experience activity, which always attracts many seniors to participate," said social worker Hong Xianghui. The two robots have become new "companions" for the elderly.
