By 2035 I'd expect humanoid robots will also be making a significant impact in healthcare. In particular, doing a lot of basic nursing assistant/healthcare assistant tasks.

When people worry about the burden of an aging population in the 2030s & 40s, I rarely see them factor in how much robots will reduce the need for human workers to do this.

Is this an article, or listed anywhere? You didn't post a link.

Im guessing the talk of 'robot helpers" is speculation on your part and not in the original source?
