Boing Boing relays the news that Aging Japan builds robot to look after elderly:
A Japanese-led research team said it had made a seeing, hearing and smelling robot that can carry human beings and is aimed at helping care for the country’s growing number of elderly.
All I can say is, I hope those old people have Old Glory Insurance.
Update: Scrolling down just a little, I realize that Boing Boing already made that particular reference. My bad.
