[]
A special robot designed to help seniors with various tasks is in the spotlight at an exhibition in Japan. The robot nurse is among the many products on display. It was designed to help people bathe, get from wheelchairs to beds, and communicate. The robot will also help monitor patients and seniors who need attention. The Japanese government says it wants to expand its nursing robot market in the next three years, to relieve the pressure caused by the nation's aging population.
