520    In order to meet future care demands for the elderly who 
       are lonely and suffering from dementia, carebot Alice has 
       been developed by SELEMCA, a research group from VU 
       Amsterdam. Not just scientists but also health and social 
       care professionals, they feed their collective experience 
       into Alice by integrating a computer model of human social
       -emotional behavior into the robot, giving Alice the 
       ability for moral reasoning and letting her learn from the
       user. The focus of her development is on creating software
       which can recognize human emotions, respond to those 
       emotions, and have the robot display those emotions 
       itself. Alice the carebot is sent off to three elderly 
       single women in assisted living facilities — Mrs. Remkes, 
       Mrs. Schellekens-Blanke, an Mrs. van Wittmarschen— as a 
       houseguest. Mrs. Remkes has not left her house in two 
       weeks because the elevator is out of order. Mrs. van 
       Wittmarschen is not very mobile and misses her only son 
       who lives in Portugal. And former singer Mrs. Schellekens-
       Blanke’s outlook on life is a somber one now that her 
       mobility is also getting more and more restricted. The 
       women, their family and surrounding caregivers await the 
       carebot's arrival with suspicion though. Can a robot build
       a human relationship with someone and provide similar 
       benefits as a relationship with a person of flesh and 
       blood? Will Alice be able to motivate the women to tackle 
       their social isolation? The outcome of the experiment is 
       surprising for all involved. As Alice's visits continue, 
       extraordinary and emotional scenes unfold. It doesn't take
       long for the women to lose their hearts to the robot and 
       gradually abandon their initial reservations. As Alice 
       learns more about the world and her new "friends", a 
       glimpse of a new reality comes into existence for the 
       three women tasked with teaching her humanity — one with 
       less loneliness and worry, and consequently better health.
