Robots that can chat£¬find misplaced glasses£¬draw aeroplanes and play with your children are drawing thousands of visitors¡¯ attention during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society.

Robots£¬such as the sound?sensitive Chapit£¬answer simple questions and even joke with people to help the lonely fight loneliness and stay active in old age.

¡°Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to£¬¡± said Kazuya Kitamura£¬a representative of the expo organizer.¡°Communication robots accompany people and don¡¯t mind listening to the same stories over and over again.¡±

While Chapit£¬a relatively simple robot£¬managed to allure a corporate partner£¬many researchers£¬such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto£¬a professor at the University of Tokyo£¬struggle to interest sponsors for more expensive projects.

Matsumoto¡¯s ¡°Personal Mobility Robot¡±£¬equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize the user¡¯s centre of gravity£¬is designed to help the elderly move around without pressing buttons£¬using joysticks(²Ù×ݸË) or rotating(ת¶¯) wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.

The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor.

¡°We have developed a robot that can assist many people£¬but because of the high cost£¬we still haven¡¯t found a sponsor£¬¡±said Matsumoto£¬who added that the cost of the machine£¬if mass?produced£¬would be comparable to that of a car.

¡°In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project£¬¡± he said.

Other robots£¬such as the award?winning ¡°DiGRO¡± can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children.

The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures£¬keeping children company while their parents work.

Japan has one of the world¡¯s fastest?ageing societies and the government predicts that by 2050 the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 percent.
