Loneliness is something that attacks all of us at a certain point in our lives. In order to beat that, a South Korean Company has developed a robot that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to interact with elders that ailed from dementia, an inability to think and process that disrupts their routine activities of life.

The doll's sophisticated language-processing skills, emotional recognition, talking and ability to play music thereby helping those who are in dire need of companionship.

Hyodol helps those people largely who have somewhere digitally lagged in correspondence to the advancing technological changes in the world. It gives them a last lease of hope to live a happier life through the assistance of digital technology.

Loneliness is so much common these days to such an extent that it has now become a matter of public concern actually. It's a feeling of being left out in emotional and mental structural lines.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared loneliness as a 'global health threat'. It has consequences similar to that of a person who smokes some 15 cigarettes a day.

In order to challenge all this, a South Korean Company has come up with a robot doll that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to interact with elders suffering from dementia, a kind of memory loss situation.

Hyodol was developed by the same-named AI care robot developer in South Korea. It is an artificial intelligence (AI) to care robot that provides elders with deep focused attention, adhering to the company's website. To do so, the robot uses the information gathered from interacting with humans.

According to the company, it's emotional AI technology offers consumers emotional support that feels raw, genuine and authentic. A report by 'Indian Express' suggests caretakers may time to time monitor the AI robot doll with its accompanying app and web monitoring platform leading it to have full-fledged conversations. Additionally, it also equips itself with safety measures that can issue an alert after a certain amount of time if no movement is detected.
