It's a radical solution that could have come straight from a science-fiction blockbuster. But a robot could be brought into British care homes this year to help solve the staffing crisis. The fully autonomous Aeo android can do the rounds on its own, checking up on residents and bringing them their medicine. Human staff meanwhile can keep an eye on its progress remotely through an app, with a live video feed showing its progress in real time. Aeolus Robotics said its droid has already been used to great success in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, where it has been employed by some of the countries' biggest care providers. The firm told the Daily Mail it is looking to expand into the UK in 2023 and is in talks with distributors and partners.

WALL-E may have roamed the earth alone 800 years in the future. But now a lookalike robot could be coming to the UK as early as 2023. And rather than just pick up litter like the Disney creation, this one is all-action. Aeolus Robotics claim their android can act as a security guard, a hospital cleaner and even take over the job of staff in care homes.

The newest artificial intelligence out of San Francisco-based tech firm Aeolus Robotics is a revolutionary robot that can pretty much second guess your family's movements, their identity, and even perform household duties from moping the floor to getting drinks out of the fridge. While the flying cars that were promised to us in The Jetsons are lamentably still on the drawing board, a digital domestic goddess by the likes of Rosie The Robot has actually arrived. The mechanical mate, which is expected to be available by the end of the year, will reportedly cost as much as a car at around $US20,000 ($25,000) and is described by Aeolus as being the height and weight of a 12 year old -- however undoubtedly more house-trained. Just like a creepy scene out of (insert favourite Sci Fi film here) this amazing android can distinguish between family members' faces, recognise where household items are supposed to go (then put them back in place) and can keep a sly eye open for emergencies like a fire or notice a change in posture and possibly prevent a fall. The yet to be officially named "Aeolus Robot" can also move furniture, find lost items and even learn the household schedule via an information sharing network.

Aeolus Robotics, a San Francisco-based company, has just unveiled at the CES 2018 a working prototype of a household robot assistant. Called'Aeolus Robot', the robot helper knows how to use a vacuum cleaner and it uses AI and machine learning to recognize thousands of objects as well as the owners' preferences such as their favorite drink. Regarding its price, Aeolus Robotics has only mentioned that it is going to cost "less than a family vacation overseas".
