We’re thrilled to share that an American mother is preparing to welcome a Realbotix robot into her home as a companion for her autistic son. Why? Our robots are excellent companions for folks with atypical communication styles, improving quality of life through emotional connection, coaching and support.

With expressive animations, interactive responses, and advanced sensory feedback, this robot helps bridge communication gaps—offering a safe, enriching, and emotionally supportive experience. More than a friend, it’s a caregiver, supports the human need for connection, and can be a vital part of healthcare in the home.  

Even more powerfully, it’s equipped with a vision system that can recognize people and situations, enabling it to identify potentially dangerous scenarios and alert caregivers in real time. This expands its role from companion to protector, offering peace of mind and an extra layer of safety for families.

Our AI can be further programmed to assist with medication reminders or to relay information back to a doctor or nurse. AI can even be used for speech therapy with individuals that have suffered a stroke. The use cases for social robots within healthcare are vast.  

This is just one example of how Realbotix is pushing the boundaries of what AI-driven companionship can do—not only supporting individuals, but strengthening the bonds that matter most. As the lines between healthcare and technology continue to intersect, companion robots are at the forefront of reshaping patient experiences—offering not just care, but connection.
