Do you now Katsushiro Otomo's Roujin Z? It's a anime movie about how a futuristic Japan try to solve it's aging peoples problems by using robots as a nurses and helpers.

Here come the WL-16IV, for Waseda-Leg No.16 Refined IV, a walking chair developped in a japanese university.

Now, try to imagine how this project could be helpful for all the old or for the persons with handicaps.

Forget Matrix and Terminator paranoia, robot is the key! (if we don't forget other peoples and starts to live exclusively with robots, like some otakus can live with mechanical anime maids figurines ^^)
