A system for use by medical personnel was demonstrated last year in Japan.
IIRC, they had a nurse lifting patients. They figure they will need robots
to help care for the aging Japanese population.

A practical application for sure ... and fresh on our minds from SWMBO and I
recently taking care of her Dad the last six months of his life. Mobility,
along with help with bodily functions, are what most families have to pay
some third party dearly to do for their elderly relatives if they themselves
are not trained to do so.
