Is China going to be the next Japan when it comes to the number of elderly folk getting around. Perhaps, as it is projected that by the time we are halfway through this decade, China's elderly population will make up nearly 20% in total – that's a cool 200 million. The Chinese Academy of Sciences decided that having robots around to provide care for the elderly is a brilliant idea, hence the HuiHui's development that might eventually see it serve in nursing homes, hospitals, and even around the home as a general nanny.
