China’s Rushen Robot has just entered the chat, vying for the prestigious (and frankly, exhausting) title of the world’s most patient caregiver. This metallic marvel is engineered to be a 24/7 elder-care companion, diligently dispensing meds, vigilantly monitoring health metrics, and even providing a steady, robotic assist with meals. It’s a rather timely arrival, too, as the country grapples with a frankly colossal shortage of human carers. The real clincher, though? We’re fairly confident this particular model won’t be waging a frosty, passive-aggressive war over the thermostat settings.
