Robotics and AI Assist in Caring for the Elderly - Nanalyze

In Japan, famous for the longevity of its people, their endearing use of engrish, and their fetish for girls in Catholic school uniforms, the care of the elderly is a particularly acute problem. A third of the Japanese population is reportedly above the age of 60, and the number of people over 90 years of age just topped two million for the first time. Add in a rapidly shrinking population, and you have a country where you have more people eating the early bird special than not. So it's no surprise that Japan is leading the world in robotic elder care, offering a glimpse into our geriatric future.
