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 Japans elders. So scientists are developing Ri-Man, the newest prototype of the care robot. Ri-Man can see, hear and assess a persons health, but he still needs tweaking. Currently he is unable to express any emotion, but things are set to change.
