Japan's ageing population requires more investment in technologies such as artificial intelligence and robots, according to a recent government report.

With a rapidly ageing population, Japan is increasingly looking to robots and artificial intelligence (AI) to help caregivers in nursing homes take care of elderly people.

For years now, developers in the already high-tech country have been working on simple robots to help caregivers grant the elderly the assistance they need. Now the world's third-largest economy wants to expand the range of possible applications for robots and AI.
