Japan is really good at making robots. In fact, around 70% of robots in the world are made in Japan. Now the Japanese government is looking to help the coming crisis of caring for an elderly population by creating nurse robots.

I’m not sure what the nurse robots will do - but some of the tasks of nursing care for the elderly may be ideally suited for a robot. Tasks like helping someone to the bathroom, bringing food and monitoring all could be automated. What do you think? Do the Japanese have the solution to elder care? Put your thoughts in the comments.
