ElliQ

ElliQ is a tabletop companion robot from Intuition Robotics that talks with older adults, starts conversations on its own and encourages healthy habits. It is offered to seniors living alone and to the care organizations and partners that support them.

The device combines speech, body language, lights, sounds, text and images so interactions feel natural for people with hearing or vision limits. It remembers details from past conversations, estimates the user's mood and availability, and uses that context to choose when to suggest a walk, stretching, hydration or a call with family.

Goals can be set by the user, their care team or the company, and the system works toward tasks such as cognitive training. Its relationship orchestrator connects to several language models, including the company's own. The site reports improvements in loneliness and wellbeing among users, and the robot is sold through partners or by contacting the team.
