Researchers at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) have now developed a robot system that can teach Tai Chi.
The development of this robot is part of the study, allowing robots to lead lessons in a community. These robots can also help improve cognitive function, in addition to developing techniques in interacting with robots in various different situations.
Tai Chi includes a number of movements, meditation, and even breathing control. Tai Chi is also believed to increase blood flow to the brain - which improves memory and learning.
The use of robots for teaching is expected to offer access to a wider community than today.
With various countries heading towards an old country within a decade, it is likely that these robots will be very useful for use in the community.
