This article focuses on the situation of elderly people in Japan and the recent changes in society. Japan's population is aging. 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 ...
The Hybrid Assistive Limb (also known as HAL) is a powered, soft-bodied exoskeleton suit developed by Japan's Tsukuba University and the robotics company Cyberdyne.It is designed to support and expand the physical capabilities of its users, particularly people with physical disabilities.
The result, though eerie, is an important step towards building more life-like robots, said lead researcher Shoji Takeuchi. Say cheese: Japanese scientists make robot face 'smile' with living skin ...
