The Elderly and Robots
The NZ Herald has a feature discussing robotic helpers in hospitals and old-folks homes -- Good Old Days With Your Robot. The growth rate of the population in "developed" countries is known to tail off, and this factor is being observed in more and more countries. In a few decades, the imbalance of working people against the elderly will lean greatly in favour of the old, hence the need for robots to assist them and keep them company. The article discusses some robots that can do simple things such as fetching medicine and monitoring heart-beats. |
