Could a robot help support people in Gloucestershire with dementia? A trial being is being piloted with Gloucester City ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½s to see how beneficial it could be for older people in care. Scientists from Cardiff University have created Mylo, a small white robot, that can interact with people. Mylo even has the ability to detect if someone has fallen over or remind someone to take their pills. Our reporter Dan Ayers has been to meet Dr Fernando Loizides, Dr Kathryn Jones and student Nathan Jones who are behind Mylo.
