Nursing is hard work. With the growth of the aging population in China, nursing workers are in short supply. Robots will be able to relieve people from doing labor- and stress－intensive work.

Siasun Robot & Automation Co in Shenyang, Liaoning province, has developed a nursing machine that can tell jokes, play music, can be depended on to deliver food to a patient punctually, and will do all that is required if there is an emergency.
