According to the article, the robotic technology is being deployed in the broadcasting studios due to its accuracy, stability and being robust. It is also said to bring advantages to the virtual-real connections during broadcasting like closely focusing on a certain point of a virtual model or continuous concentrating at a virtual replica in numerous outlooks. A robotic augmented reality system of broadcasting has an augmented reality display to represent the user augmented view, an augmented reality tracking to align practical content with intensification area which is accurate and consistent and a robotic camera system to enable the camera to freely shift about a broadcasting studio and constantly focus at the presenter

The article gives the insights on the raising costs of healthcare for the elderly. The article argues that the low fertility rates across several parts of the world has left the elderly to be the fastest growing population. Chamie asserts that though the burden of the elderly was a family issue, it has been transferred to the government. The creation of health entertainment and boosting of their social life has left a gap due to poor infrastructure which should be met by a more vigorous way.

The article discusses how most robots are designed to work certain tasks and thus not a lot of time, effort and money are used in creation of their ability to converse with humans. The authors indicate that robots have helped in increased performance of certain areas since they are robust and accurate in the work they are designed to carry out. The augmented reality enables robots to communicate with humans, which helps in improving their efficiency and making them feel safer as well as a part of a collaborative team.

The article illustrates how robotic technologies have also been applied in augmented reality broadcast so as to reinstate the competent human workers in order to attain improved productivity. However, it discusses how they have created more challenges in this sector in relation to its robustness, accuracy and performance. In addition, there are various challenges related to automation and intelligence of robotic cameramen.

The article discusses augmented reality being regularly positioned in the broadcast sectors as an advanced method. The augmented reality generates virtual graphics which are active and overlie on the exterior of the setting in order to make sure of the enhancement of the original appearance as compared to the traditional broadcasting. In the recent years, the advanced robotic technologies are being deployed in the systems of camera shootings so as to create a robotic cameraman to improve the efficiency of the augmented reality communications.
