Honda's AI Robot Haru Debuts in Spanish Hospital
Honda Research Institute Japan has introduced its AI-powered social robot, Haru, at Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in Seville, Spain, to support the well-being of children undergoing long-term hospital care. Haru assists in emotional and cognitive assessments, rehabilitation activities, and provides companionship and educational support. The robot's introduction has significantly increased the hospital's capacity for assessments and improved children's engagement in rehabilitation. Haru's neutral communication style helps bridge generational and cultural gaps, enhancing the emotional care provided to young patients.
