Professor helps develop robot to help the elderly
Imagine your life in 60 years.
You oversleep and are awakened by a
walking, talking robot checking to
make sure you are all right.
Within five years, this could be a
reality for the increasing elderly
population of the world. Jim Juola,
a professor of cognitive psychology,
is part of an international team
designing a robot that would provide
in-home care for the elderly. He is
the only person from the United States
to be working on the project, which
is funded by the European Comission.
The project is called K-SERA
Knowledgable Service Robots for the
Aging.

In a small East Texas town, one man
fights for his right to medical
marijuana-and suffers the consequences.
Off of a dead-end street in the lush
woodlands of East Texas, Chris Cain
rides his motorized wheelchair to his
trailer's front door and pushes it
open with his wrist. With his barking
Chihuahua trailing behind, he spins
and leads me toward his office space,
excusing the place's appearance.
It's been through two hurricanes and
two police raids. It's had it, he
drawls. In his living room, worn
couches face a big-screen television.
With a goatee and shoulder-length
hair, Cain, 41, calls himself a
rocker.
snip
Cain knew forgoing prescription drugs
in favor of marijuana in Texas was
risky. But he didn't realize how far
local authorities would take their
zero-tolerance drug policies. As he
saw it, he was just a disabled guy.
snip
After the raid, Cain was arrested
and booked into a holding cell at the
county jail. The cell was not
handicapped-accessible, and he had
no one to help him relieve his bladder
or bowels, he says, though he asked
for help.
Around 5 p.m., after being held for
seven hours, a jail nurse arrived to
evaluate his needs. He told her he
needed help relieving himself, that he
couldn't eat without adaptive equipment
and that he needed sedatives to
calm his spasms. The nurse told him
he could take care of himself. Late
that night, he was released. He spent
days recovering from an extended
bladder and bleeding around his
catheter, he says.
