This house opposes the use of robot carers in old-age homes
Infoslide

In response to the increasingly large number of senior citizens being relegated to their care, who go unvisited by family and are isolated by age and illness, UK care homes are planning to deploy robots, in an attempt to allay the widespread loneliness felt by them and boost their mental health. The wheeled machines will initiate rudimentary conversations, play residents’ favourite music, teach them languages, and offer practical help, including medicine reminders. These robots can hold simple conversations, have basic emotional responses, and be programmed to people’s interests. These robots do not replace human employees in these facilities, of which there often aren’t enough, but are meant to supplement their care.
