The robot arms on rails is something that I’ve been thinking about as a physician for many years. When my patients get old, they still fall when walking to the bathroom, and it’s hard to navigate most walkers and wheelchairs through the house. Strap up to the robot arm and go where you need to go!

Oh I never thought of them as tools for elderly/disabled. I was selfishly just thinking about not wanting to clean the litter box.
One thing I was wondering is how to reduce risk of potential damage / injury from the arms when they error. For them to be of much use they would have to be pretty powerful, and could cause a lot of harm.
