A LITTLE HELP: A rapidly graying global population means there could be a huge demand for long term care, a need Toyota is attempting to fulfill with its Toyota Human Support Robot (HSR).

The Human Support Robot (HSR) is operated via remote control and could be key in helping people continue to live fuller lives as they get older. 

Thanks to everything from healthier diets to widespread vaccination programs, people are living longer, especially in Japan. The country's government forecasts that by 2060, almost 40% of the population will be aged 65 or over compared with 22% of the global population.
