U-bot 5 is a robot designed to help with medical care of people. His functions include picking up small objects, dialing 911, using a stethoscope to check vitals and more. It costs about $65,000 to build a single robot in the lab, but LiveScience was told that manufacturers have said it might cost only a “couple of thousand” to mass-produce the automatons. A part-time, human in-home caregiver can cost more than $1,500 per week, so U-Bot could change the in-home caregiver market..
