Japan's population is aging (see Aging of Japan).

During the 1950s, the percentage of the

population in the 65-and-over group remained steady at around 5%. Throughout subsequent
decades, however, that age group expanded, and by 1989 it had grown to 11.6% of the population. It
was expected to reach 16.9% by 2000 and almost 25.2% by 2020. Perhaps the most outstanding
feature of this trend was the speed with which it was occurring in comparison to trends in
other industrialized nations. In the United States, expansion of the 65-and-over age group from 7%
to 14% took 75 years; in the United Kingdom and Germany, this expansion took 45 years. The same
expansion in Japan only took 24.5 years, passing 7% in late 1970 and 14% in early 1995.

One of the newest Japanese robots is the Robear, developed by Riken, a Japanese research
group.
Just like the name implies, Robear is a robot bear.
More elderly Japanese are entering nursing homes, and there are not enough young Japanese
in the nursing industry to take care of them.
It could be that Japan truly doesnt have enough people who are willing to enter the home care

industry, but it also seems like a task a loosened immigration policy would fix just as well as a
robot.

robo with heart

Japanese technology giant Soft Bank has unveiled a robot they claim is capable of
understanding human emotions using an emotional engine and cloud-based AI. For the first
time in human history, were giving a robot a heart, Soft Bank CEO Masayoshi Son said at a
news conference.
One of the most popular robots in the country is Paro, a furry, seal-like bot programmed to bond
with its owners and show emotions such as happiness and surprise.

robot for care old age:

A big part of the future success of robots will be their acceptance by the humans under their
care.
However, according to Ruth Campbell, a geriatric social worker at the University of Tokyo, many
elderly people see robots as impractical for the tasks they need help with including bathing and
dressing.
Adding complicated technology that requires training and even supervision is not going to make
interacting with a robot very attractive.
Cynthia Breazeal, director of the personal robots group at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technologys Media Lab, is working on building personal robots that are socially intelligent and
interact and communicate with people in more human-centric terms.
In her TED talk, The Rise of Personal Robots , Breazeal explains the benefits of building a robot
able to interface on a more human level.
People behave like people even when interacting with robots.
A robot that could respond to human cues and provide care and reminders for the elderly would
help relieve family members of the huge burdens and expense of elder care.
