Unless I missed it, I didn’t see any mention that robots will probably help the elderly in a number of ways in the not too distant future.
Cleaning the house, disposing garbage, securing the house, administering medication, taking and recording vital signs and sending them to appropriate medical staff are some that come to mind. That could eliminate or delay the need for more expensive assisted living homes.
Don't forget chasing kids off the lawn and fighting with the robot of the neighbor who won't control his dyspeptic schnauzer.
If the story is true then I am surprised. I had thought that things which kill you at 68 are pretty quick like a massive heart attack, while living to nearly 100 results in many of the more enduring, expensive medical care.
