Tiles are falling off the exterior wall of a high-rise residential building in Yichang, Hubei province, China, on July 19, 2023. With the gradual aging of housing construction, peeling of exterior walls has become a prominent problem. The exterior wall falling off mainly occurs in two forms of building facades: one is tile exterior wall and the other is sticky anchor exterior wall structure. With extreme weather such as high temperature and heavy rain, the frequency of external wall shedding events is increasing.

Demonstration of the nursing-care robot HUG (mobility support robot) during the press conference development and Implementation of Nursing-Care Robots in Japan at The Foreign Press Center Japan (FPCJ), Tokyo 2 February 2018, Japan. Hug is designed to support people who face mobility issues, such as those issues that come hand in hand with old age. From bed to wheelchair, or wheelchair to toilet seat; Hug assists when staying in a position or in situations where standing for a period of time is required, such as when getting dressed. Over 25% of Japan’s population are seniors.
