Mass intergenerational loneliness underscores the importance of companionship, particularly concerning when combined with isolation and existing health conditions. Technological approaches have mainly focused on audio-visual elements, neglecting the significance of tactile experiences.
Pet therapy, for example, offers relief for loneliness and anxiety. However, challenges such as care requirements, hygiene and allergies limit its accessibility, highlighting an opportunity for a presence that can offer both tactile benefits and practical assistance.
At Konpanion we seek to bridge this gap through our soft approach to social robotics, merging elegant design with artificial intelligence to create the first soft social robot in the market – Maah.
Driven by nature-inspired design, Maah embodies the integration of form, function, and intelligence with grace. Offering physical and emotional companionship, alongside information feedback through its sensory suite. It aims to enhance support without replacing human interaction, providing a discreet yet powerful presence for users and their loved ones.
