VANCOUVER, BC, June 11, 2024 – Aether™ Robot, the groundbreaking collaborative service robot developed under the 3Spheres Robotics Project, is set to make a significant appearance at CityAge’s “The Data Effect: The Next Evolution in Health” summit in Vancouver on June 25, 2024. This event brings together top executives, researchers, and technology leaders to explore innovations in health data and AI.

About Aether Robot:

Aether™ is designed to assist people with developmental disabilities and older adults, enhancing their independence through three core functionalities:

1. Autonomous Navigation: Facilitates independent movement in public indoor spaces.
2. Client Monitoring and Inspection: Eases the workload of human caregivers by providing safety inspections.
3. Social Interaction: Offers entertainment, helps manage anxiety-driven behaviors and coaches exercise routines.

Aether now features fully integrated voice interfaces powered by Chat GPT and visual interfaces with Vision GPT through advanced APIs. This integration enhances Aether’s capabilities in:

• Natural Language Processing: Allows users to interact with Aether using conversational language for more intuitive control and communication.
• Visual Recognition and Processing: Enables Aether to better understand and respond to visual cues in its environment, improving its assistance quality.

Aether has been deployed 24×7 at one of the group homes run by the Developmental Disability Association, since January 2024.  Residents enjoy talking and singing with Aether, with happy smiles and laughter brightening the faces of residents and caregivers alike. When asked about the experience, one resident says “I feel very happy from my heart and that [happiness] goes to everywhere in me.”
