In a segment from On Assignment by CBSN Adam Yamaguchi visits Japan to report on how robots are becoming both a practical and perhaps emotional replacement for humans in a country with a rapidly declining population (and therefore fewer people to staff jobs, work at hotels, fewer kids to teach in schools, and other dilemmas associated broadly with a country’s population and economy). The nearly 12-minute segment includes conversation with Hiroshi Ishiguro, other roboticists, doctors, and someone who lives with a humanoid robot named Pepper (first image below).
