Snippet:
SINGAPORE -- New arrival May Tong is excited about her first physiotherapy session at Singapore's Outram Community Hospital. As a long-term sufferer from rheumatoid arthritis, the arm-strengthening exercises are not new for the 80-year-old patient. However, the class instructor is. "Dexie" is a humanoid robot that leads physiotherapy sessions and games to engage seniors at the hospital.
