Consequential Robotics (CQR) is a new start-up founded to “enhance the experience of later life” by melding inspirational British design with state-of-the-art robotics. In fifteen years there will 50% more over 65s than there are today, and the proportion of older people in our society will continue to grow for some time after that. Robotic systems can help mitigate some of the most significant effects of this changing demographic. Specifically, a new generation of safe and human-friendly devices could assist in enabling independence of older citizens in their own homes. Current robots lack an integrated capability to recognise, and adapt their behaviour to, individual users. We aim to significantly improve the interaction abilities of assistive devices through advances to the state-of-the-art in the fields of person perception and human action recognition. We will to demonstrate this in the form of an animal-like robot companion, designed to provide social, assistive and therapeutic benefits for end users.

Consequential Robotics（CQR）是一家新成立的初创公司，旨在通过将鼓舞人心的英国设计与最先进的机器人技术相结合，“增强晚年生活的体验”。15年后，65岁以上的人将比现在多50%，在此之后的一段时间内，我们社会中老年人的比例将继续增长。机器人系统可以帮助减轻这种人口变化的一些最重要的影响。具体而言，新一代安全和人性化的设备可以帮助老年公民在自己家中实现独立。目前的机器人缺乏识别个人用户并使其行为适应个人用户的综合能力。我们的目标是通过在人的感知和人类动作识别领域的最新进展，显着提高辅助设备的交互能力。我们将以类似动物的机器人伴侣的形式展示这一点，旨在为最终用户提供社交，辅助和治疗方面的好处。
