In spite of the high-tech nature of these robotics, they seem 'friendlier' to me than the simpler (but very cold) Hoyers and their ilk.

Two unfortunates about the survey: It only mildly solicited suggestions and included nothing even remotely like this; in fact, the two technologies it reviewed wouldn't help me at all. But, I'd love something like this. Although I don't need it, now, I'm sure I'll need it in the future.
