This growth may be driven by the anticipated labor shortage, with the Recruit Works Institute forecasting a deficit of 11 million workers by 2040, and a government-backed institute estimating that nearly 40% of the population will be 65 or older by 2065.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A notable example of robots filling the labor gap can be seen in the country&#8217;s largest table service restaurant chain, Skylark, which employs approximately 3,000 cat-eared robots to deliver food to tables. At one of the chain&#8217;s Tokyo locations, 71-year-old Yasuko Tagawa noted that about half of her job now involves working with robotic assistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a display of appreciation, Tagawa expressed her gratitude to a robot, saying, \u201cThanks for your hard work.
