It’s Saturday night in the year 2100. Once again, you’re at the quiz night in a care home. Luna

announces the questions about history and general knowledge. Zach serves dinner and drinks.

Chi-Young administers evening medications. But Luna, Zach and Chi-Young aren’t human. And

one day they could be your retirement companions. Imagine. Kyra, another humanoid, helps you

choose your outfit for your morning walk and assists you into your exoskeleton - an aid that

gives you full control of your mobility. Clara, with her soft silicone skin, assists you with

medication. Her sensors can immediately detect changes in your mood, walking pattern, or skin

temperatures. So … what would being looked after by robots actually feel like? … What’s your

opinion about this issue?
