In what we are able to only assume is a part of their community service , after running amok and devouring all that medicine, robots at the moment are visiting our old people in hospitals, leading them in sing-alongs and helping them battle Alzheimer’s — as opposed to terrorizing them. The Kustaankartano Elderly Centre in Helsinki has brought in a couple of bots designed by the Korean Institute of Science and Technology to entertain patients and lead them though exercise routines. After all , without legs or proper arms, their usefulness as fitness instructors is severely limited, and watching them lip sync Bohemian Rhapsody is more creepy than amusing.

They’ll be moving along just once their court-ordered service is complete. Take a look at the video after the break.
