Sweep me off my feet

* the law » handy capable , news and politics @ 13:40

The Japanese care so much about their peeps! And no there's not a theme here (below).

Always innovators when it comes to technology, our friends on the other side of the world have created a robot that can carry the elderly. It can hear, smell, and see. Can it replace a man?

That was a joke.

Ever so worried about the growing population that can no longer take care of itself, this robot is aimed at performing tasks that a personal assistant would normally do... like lifting! Eventually they hope to program it to detect health problems.
