Japan focuses on developing robots to serve the elderly

With the support of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the human robot research program is set to become a national economic development target of $ 100 billion over the next 20 years in the country.

'Cherry Blossom Country' believes that 'real people and robots' will work together to address the shortage of young manpower because of the growing number of young people.

This information was given in the context of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (RSAS) on Oct. 6 announcing three scientists, John O'Keefe, an American-American, and two Norwegians, May- Britt Moser and Edvard Moser became the owners of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology by discovering the cells that make up the navigation system in the brain.

"The findings (of the scientists) ... have solved the problem that many philosophers and scientists have not explained for centuries."

The statement also said the findings point to "how the brain creates a map of the gaps around us and how we can find our way in a complex environment." Discovering the positioning mechanism of the brain will help scientists understand the mechanism that leads to dementia in some people.

Nobel Prize in Medicine, worth 8 million Swedish crowns ($ 1.1 million), is the first Nobel Prize to be awarded this season. The Nobel Prize last year was won by two American scientists, James Rothman and Randy Schetman, and German scientist Thomas Sued for a groundbreaking work on the mechanism of cellular transport.
