At the Next-Generation Robot Manufacturing Exhibition, Japan Logic Machine presented a home care robot called Yurina.
"This robot is actually used in an Osaka hospital. It can lift people from beds and carry them to other places. It can also help people take baths and change diapers. So this robot can be used for quite a lot of care tasks that require physical strength."
Fully conscious people can operate this robot themselves, without any help from a caregiver. The robot can also be used as an electric wheelchair.
The lifting hand has a conveyor belt, and it can retract and extend automatically, so moving people is easy. The hand can also be tilted freely, so people can get on and off easily as well.
In addition, special rollers have been used to enable the robot to turn smoothly in narrow spaces. This robot can run on floor mats without damaging them.
The robot can be operated by touch-screen or via voice-recognition.
"Depending on the options chosen, Yurina is priced from 3,500,000 yen to 3,700,000 yen."
