The Dual-Form Robot That's Reimagining Elderly Care

The Q1 from Shanghai Robotgym is a next-generation care robot designed for semi-disabled and lonely seniors. Its biggest breakthrough is the ability to instantly switch between a Manipulation Form and a Wheelchair Form to meet every scenario, from fetching items to carrying a person.

Key Tech & Impact:
► Seamless Mobility: Features an omnidirectional base and a high-precision, force-controlled arm for gentle, assisted movement. Caregivers noted they desperately need this assistance for safely lifting and moving frail users.
► AI & Safety: Includes robust safety features like fall detection and emergency stops, plus a multimodal AI model that learns user habits and proactively offers emotional support (music or dialogue) when it senses the user is distressed.
By handling repetitive chores like fetching, the Q1 enables human staff to focus on professional nursing and emotional companionship, making elderly care both warmer and more efficient through human-machine collaboration.
