LeadingAge Member Hires Robot
A LeadingAge member is tapping technology to solve workforce challenges. A robot now brings hot meals to diners at Longhorn Village, a continuing care retirement community in Steiner Ranch, TX.
KXAN shared the story, noting that the new robot can even deliver cake and sing “Happy Birthday.” Longhorn Village expects to add more robots soon, said the story.
