The latest types from Japan are able to help the elderly to get out of the bed or get up after a fall. They can remind them when to take a rest,or even help wash their hair.

Professor Maja Mataric at the University of Southern California agrees. u Ym very excited about the fact that today we have machines that are put together with people in a daily life setting ,” she says.
