Teddy Bear-Shaped Nurse Robot Developed
TOKYO – Japanese scientists have come up with a robot resembling a huge, happy teddy bear to help look after hospital patients.
RIBA, Robot for Interactive Body Assistance, which can lift a weight of 61 kg on its foam padded arms, is the work of the government-run Riken research institute.

“We have developed RIBA because we want to help caregivers when they are required to transfer patients between hospital beds and wheelchairs,” said Mukai.
The robot, that can also recognise faces and voices and respond to up to 30 spoken commands, may be seen in hospitals and retirement homes within three years.
Mukai said battery-powered RIBA was based on a teddy bear because humanoid versions could leave people uncomfortable

@chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don’t have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn’t write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.

My mum and I would like to develop a weblog much like this for our website, I stumbled across your internet site looking for ideas on the theme as well as layout. I am taking some html coding course in college however, not certain that I would have the ability to develop a internet site like this one at this time. Did you code this site by yourself or hire a professional?
