Robot baby companion unveiled in Japan for childless women

A palm-sized robot dubbed Kirobo Mini has been unveiled in Japan, designed to be a companion for the growing number of women left childless by the country's aging population crisis. The robot, created by Toyota Motor Corp, aims to emulate a human baby and even "wobbles" like a infant "which hasn't fully developed the skills to balance itself," its chief design engineer Fuminori Kataoka said.
