Nobody wants to think about a robot doing their job, but what if they could help out with some of the more strenuous duties around your nursing home?
The RIBA (it stands for Robot for Interactive Body Assistance) was created by Japanese engineers to help nurses lift residents from their beds into wheelchairs and vice versa. It can also help residents with mobility problems move to and from the toilet. It can lift residents who weigh up to 134 pounds (61 kg).
RIBA looks like a cross between a polar bear and a snowman and has a cute, friendly face to help put residents at ease.
