Four Indian robotics startups stole the spotlight at the 2025 Tokyo Healthcare Tech Expo with AI-powered elderly care robots. These robots assist with medicine schedules, real-time health monitoring, and conversational companionship. One model, named “Saanvi,” responds in Hindi, English, Tamil, and Bengali, and can detect falls or distress using thermal sensors. Japan’s aging population has shown strong interest in importing these devices. The Indian delegation announced joint R&D projects with Osaka University to improve emotional intelligence in care bots.
