Robots have become part of daily life in Japan and now they look to be the solution to a national problem. Armies of these metal creatures are being developed to provide care for the elderly.
In the past, three generations of a Japanese family would live together. Yet as this lifestyle becomes more rare, fewer people are left supporting Japan s elders. So scientists are developing Ri-Man, the newest prototype of the care robot. Ri-Man can see, hear and assess a person s health, but he still needs tweaking. Currently he is unable to express any emotion , but things are set to change.

It's too bad that the adorable and very helpful home companion and care assistant Palmi robot is no longer being featured. It seemed like one of tne smartest and most useful model's. Palmi should have been developed into a larger model similar to Grace The Humanlike Nursing Assistant with heavy lifting abilities like the Robear.
