Representatives of the Ricken Research Institute, located in Japan, said they built a robotic mechanism for the gentle transport of elderly and bedridden patients from Wheelchair to bed and back. Robot got human guise and was named “Robear”.
With built-in sensors and high-tech drives, the mechanical assistant moves extremely precisely and smoothly, gently hugging a person and moving to the right place without the slightest injuries. The rubberized surface of the mechanical arms is very soft and pleasant to the touch. The car will be used for patient rehabilitation: a robot can support a person in upright position, allowing him to study more comfortably anew to walk.
Weight “Robear” is one hundred forty kilograms against two hundred thirty, which the corresponding model had before. The support base was significantly reduced, which allowed the Japanese make the robot more maneuverable than its predecessor. Scientists from the Land of the Rising Sun are sure that “Robear” is significantly will simplify the work of relatives, doctors and guardians in caring for sick.
In addition, do not forget about senior citizens. The population of Japan is rapidly aging, so in innovation may soon be necessary in almost every family. The market price of the miracle robot is still unknown.
However, the first cases of robotic attacks on person. Technological progress always has risks.
