Scientists are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonelyold people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans.Alan Beck, an expert(专家) in human-animal relationship, and NancyEdwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study on theeffect of robotic dogs on old people’s depression (沮丧), physical activity, and life satisfaction. In thestudy, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of someold people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists willcollect baseline data(数据) for six weeks. These old people will keep adiary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, thescientists will review the data to test if it has produced any changes in thelife of its owner. “I talk tohim all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady.“When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has hisown mind.” The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists saythey have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often theelderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playingwith it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns. “At the beginning, itwas believed that no one would relate(与……相关) to the roboticdog, because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “Hopefully, down the road,these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will recordtheir masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels or heart rhythms(心律).AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate(刺激)older people’s minds.” 1.The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to _____________.
