1. The developer needs to perfect the robots for various mechanical functions, such as housework, locomotion assistance, health and safety monitoring and medical care. 
 
2. The developer needs to use artificial intelligence technology to enable robots to meet the emotional interaction of the elderly.
 
3. Robots need to be employed algorithms for self-learning. During the serving, the robot can constantly update the services provided according to the habits of the elderly.

This depersonalization makes them feel depressed and disappointed.

The elderly with different physical conditions needs different modes of robot care.

Some of them have psychosis, and some have feelings of loneliness and loss.

In the service, robots collect and store data, which is the privacy of the elderly.
