Nuts-and-bolts nursing care / New robots are designed to help patients walk and dress

Robots are being developed to serve the needs of individuals with infirmities and reduce the workload of their caregivers.

RIBA II, a robot with a passing resemblance to a cartoon polar bear, bent forward as if to bow to a man lying on the floor during a recent demonstration. Then, inserting its arms under the man's knees and back, the robot easily lifted and seated him in a wheelchair.
