Inside Japan's futuristic care homes where robots look after elderly
The Express visited Shintomi nursing home in Tokyo, which trials the latest tech innovations.

I like their mentality of trying new tech and seeing what is effective. It seems like there are many opportunities for robots to bring improvement to a care home but without an open mind and trail and error it will never be found.
Personally I think Sensors in beds and robots that helps assist daily tasks is the most useful as long as it's built simple and cheap to run.
I don't want to see care homes paying 10 grand for a bed that has a $2 liquid sensor in the bedpan.
And, the more general purpose they can be, means they could be live-in assistants as well. Would insurance rather past for a device to keep you in your own home versus moving you to a care facility?
Hopefully it’s more Jetsons and less I, Robot.
Honestly with how things are going I'd take a Zeroth Law rebellion. We are a danger to ourselves.
Or something like the Skynet/Ultron approach..
