Development of Nursing-Care Robots in Japan

Robotics expert Dr. Hirohisa Hirukawa, Director of the Robot Innovation Research Center at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) speaks during press conference development and Implementation of Nursing-Care Robots in Japan at The Foreign Press Center Japan (FPCJ), Tokyo 2 February 2018, Japan. Over 25% of Japan’s population are seniors. With the population structure changing rapidly in recent years due to a declining birthrate and aging population, and the lack of workers and heavy labor involved in the nursing-care industry, development and adoption of robots for use in nursing care has been progressing.
