'Robot carers' developed in Bristol laboratory - BBC News
Scientists in Bristol are developing robots to provide care and companionship for elderly people. It is an attempt to address the issue of who will care for Britain's increasingly ageing population. In the last 25 years the number of people aged 85 or over has more than doubled. The work is being carried out by the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England. With social care budgets under pressure, governments across the world are searching for cheaper solutions to provide care.
