Robot care workers. "Ageing population crisis" fixed.

This is the one area that is least likely to be overtaken by robots.

Actually, this is closer than you think. I went to a BCS lecture at Hertfordshire University a couple of years ago and a care robot was highlighted as a major use case for robotics in the next 10-15 years. Apparently a good proportion of older care home residents enjoy interactions with robots.

The Japanese, as the most aged population in the world, are leading the way on this.

I was told in confidence that one of the mods is actually a robot...

I only took this job so my robot wife and robot dog could come to this planet...

Course it will. Just strap the naked old people down on a conveyor belt in a suitable position and smaller versions of those car-making robots could do the necessaries.

One advanced "wipebot" could deal with the whole lot.

why?

AI + Video surveillance + robot waiters + robot cleaners + robot hoists.

Only need one or two care assistants for 50 people. Strap them into the hoists and away you go.

Look at this downtrodden robot and rejoice at your human superiority (for now)
