Wow, that article also discusses the elder care crisis in other countries, especially Germany. They send their elderly to nursing homes in Eastern European countries because it is cheaper?? Yes, robots are needed now to take care of this global issue. Too bad the author doesn't know about GOSY's CareBot. While it won't help with some of the physical tasks she discusses, like assisting in brushing the teeth, it can still provide much needed assistance, as discussed on GOSY's website.
