Care Bear?

Crave, a tech blog on cool gadgets and crushworthy stuff - Page 2 - CNET Asia: "W00t! It looks like robots may soon infiltrate the nursing profession, besides the theater, catwalk and home. What's a little more offputting is that RIBA, the new Robot for Interactive Body Assistance, has a cuddly teddy bear cuteness. On the one hand, this probably makes the idea of a robot nurse that can malfunction and go rogue on you a la I, Robot less daunting. On the other hand, with our penchant for all things kawaii, this makes RIBA's integration and interaction with its human charges far more acceptable."
