Companion & Elder Support
Emphasize voice assistants, robust speech understanding, and safe indoor navigation.
Why this matters: This category is interaction-heavy, so voice UX and assistive reliability matter most.
Component tradeoff checklist
- Test wake-word reliability and speech recognition accuracy.
- Confirm reminder/workflow features for daily routines.
- Validate safe navigation behavior around people and pets.
- Review fallback behavior during connectivity outages.
