South Korea introduced 'robo-grandma' dolls, to combat loneliness and provide emotional support to seniors. The AI-robots, designed as "huggable soft dolls", respond to touch, provide music, cognitive exercises and practical support like medication and emergency alerts. South Korea's "super-aged" society has over 10 million people aged 65 or older, with nearly 10 seniors dying by suicide everyday.
