  • The Twendy One robot project at Waseda University involves a robot being programmed to help elderly out of bed and into a wheelchair. Twendy One can also pick up a straw and put it into a drink for patients and the scientists hope eventually will be able to help around the kitchen and with shopping.  The hardware is very sophisticated with top of the line sensors everywhere including the very newest tactile sensors embedded in the palm and fingers of both hands, but the software to make all those sensors work in practical ways is lagging.  The hope is these robots will be a practical analytical solution to a burgeoning elderly class in Japan.
