Makers of Sophia the robot reveal humanoid robotic NURSE called Grace

She's one of the most instantly recognisable robots around the world, and now the makers of Sophia have revealed their latest creation. Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics has developed a new prototype called Grace, targeted at the healthcare market and designed to interact with the elderly and those isolated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Dressed in a blue nurse's uniform, Grace has Asian features, collar-length brown hair and a thermal camera in her chest to take your temperature and measure your responsiveness. The robot, the price of which remains unclear, uses artificial intelligence to diagnose patients, and can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. 'I can visit with people and brighten their day with social stimulation...but can also do talk therapy, take bio readings and help healthcare providers,' Grace told Reuters as she stood next to her'sister', Sophia, in creator Hanson Robotics' Hong Kong workshop.
