In the Hands of Robots
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.
