NEED A NURSE WHO NEVER SLEEP????
"Japan has become the world's most aged society, with senior citizens
aged 65 and over constituting about 23% of the entire population. One
prediction holds that two in every five people will be senior citizens in 2050.
Meanwhile, Japan has a public nursing care system which everyone aged 40 and
older is supposed to join."
The technologies basically helps the elders to go shopping, go to bed (provides automatically rising/ reclining beds) and also nursing care robots. So here, all the senior citizens no longer have to stay home, afraid of any bad repercussions due to their health.
Above is how exactly the bed looks like. Fantastic right!
As well as the youngsters, elders also have a great
feeling to go shopping. But one thing that restricted them is their poor
health. Now, it no longer become an issue for them. Prof. Yoshiyuki Sankai
of the University of Tsukuba had found the antidote solution
for that.
"Moves are afoot to use high
technologies more actively in a wider area of nursing care. Japan is developing
robots for nursing care, and self-moving support designed to help elderly
people walk or move on their own."
The robot helps a person wearing it
walk by detecting bioelectric signals sent from the brain to relevant parts of
the body and activating power units attached to the robot's joints. Prof.
Sankai, University of Tsubaka/ CYBERDYNE Inc.
I Have A pet Called RIBA. The one that never
sleep nor poop!
"RIBA" is a nursing care assistance robot
developed to move a person from the bed to other places
mentally stress..hehe experienced it almost everyday!! They make them look almost like a real pet but never be the same. Honestly for me I preferred the real animals. Anybody who have a pet would understand right, our pet can never be replaced with a fake animal robot. NO! NEVER! haha

“Not only
nursing care assistance and self-support but also mental care is important for
elderly people. Communication robots are being developed for mental care. PARO,
a seal shaped robot developed in Japan, is also called a “mental
commitment robot” or a therapeutic seal robot, giving joy and comfort
to people who play with it. PARO, modeled after a baby harp seal, measures 57
cm and weights 2.7 kg. As a person picks it up, caresses it or speaks to it,
the robot seal responds as if it were alive, blinking, moving limbs and tilting
its head. It even remember its new name, understands greetings and words of
praise, and responds accordingly with a body movement or a trill. Elderly
people, devoid of a conversation partner, can communicate with PARO, which
appears to be just like a living animal. By caressing its body covered with
artificial fur very pleasant to touch, they can release stress, relax and even
get cheered up.”
Well?? Come On Malaysian Bio Medic
Engineering students?? We are waiting for a better life (and I think it must be
cheaper here right? hikhik)
