Abstract

Most developed countries and some developing countries (such as China) are now facing the problem of aging populations. Increasing numbers of elderly people mean a relative reduction in the number of available assistants. The increase in the elderly population has led to an increasing market for robots, and the past 30 years has seen a comprehensive accumulation of technological progress in society overall. Therefore, the potential for use of robots in the future is promising. Japan has a prominent position in the field of robot research, and you can know the whole robot history base on the perspective of the Japanese robots.
