I was super surprise to see that Japan had already developed robots to help elderly people in Japan because of their increasing number of aging elders. I actually had no idea of this until I read the article "Can you hear me now?" by Sherry Turkle in our reading. The robot at 1:50 is cute but it's kinda small so I don't know what they would use that for but the robot with the folding bed seems kinda scaring. Hahah. I guess they don't look that bad and it's for a good purpose but what if the robot malfunction? What if the robot fold the bed while the person is still on it?
