The elderly patients suffer from severe dementia, but their faces light up when they see the dog-shaped robot in soft clothing walking around the hospital floor, swinging the body from one side to the other"It's cute," one female patient cries out.This is in one robot-therapy session at a Japanese hospital. Robots there serve not just as helpers -- carrying out simple chores and reminding patients to take their medication -- but also as companions, even if the machines can carry on only a simulation of a real dialogue.
