The ElliQ is an emotionally intelligent robotic companion that helps us stay connected with loved ones and to keep thinking and learning as we age. She’s your sidekick on the journey to age independently, a friendly presence in your daily life who engages you in conversation, motivates you to adopt healthier habits, and surprises you with jokes and knowledge. The design uses goal-based AI to learn a person’s goals, like getting up more often, connecting with family, or learning more about a particular topic. It then proactively nudges them to perform activities toward these targets.
