Robot for the elderly to become real-life Astro Boy
Developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), the one-meter-tall, bubble-headed robot will go on sale at a cost of 1 million yen in April next year. The robot is targeting the families of elderly people and those living alone.
The robot is equipped with functions to help elderly people and those in poor health send an alarm to hospitals, security firms and relatives when an emergency happens.
