At mere 20 cm tall, Charlie is a ‘Partner-Personal Robot', who has been specifically designed to assist children and adults with problems like dementia, autism, cerebral palsy, brain injury and other such illness.
“A child with dementia will often forget to wash his hands in the washroom. The robot will constantly have his eyes on him and remind him that he hasn't washed his hands and that he needs to do it,” Khosla said at the demonstration of the model organised by the Australian High Commission here.
