veterans and people with disabilities age in place. Rudy will cost $5,000
when it hits the market in 2017, but the company hopes to get reimbursement
through Medicare and Medicaid so the robot "will be little to no cost to the
user."

The benefits the Rudy assistive robot will remind people to take medications,
