00:03birth rates in countries around the world are beginning to go down and that's especially true
00:07in places like china which once had a one child per couple law so how do you deal with a
00:12population
00:12that is aging but has fewer and fewer young people to take care of them well the futurist
00:16answer might be with one of these a walking talking robot developed by fourier intelligence
00:21robotics are already a huge part of the healthcare industry around the globe but fourier's co-founder
00:26and ceo zen co says he sees a future where they are much more integral i think we're doing quite
00:32a good job in the healthcare sector particularly in rehab introducing i know upper lower extremity
00:37robotics in rehab it's just that in the past they're using the arms or the legs to support
00:42their movement and their treatment eventually they start to have maybe uh you know the full
00:47upper body and lower body support and eventually they have an autonomous autonomous robotics that
00:52is interacting with them so his team have developed a robot they are hoping will fill that current gap
00:56in care where elderly patients continue to need more and more help and this robot can provide it
01:01giving them 24 7 care getting them out of bed and into wheelchairs or helping with other tasks co
01:07says the chinese market loves new tech and their aging population will embrace the robot helper adding
01:12that they expect to have a working prototype for their robotic elderly carer in just two to three years
