The washing robot can replicate the dexterous touch of a human hand and Panasonic believes the robot could help replace human care-givers in Japan.
The robot has 24 robotic fingers and 2 motorised arms, and shampoos, massages the scalp and rinses in about three minutes. Conditioning and a blow-dry add another five minutes to the process. Panasonic hopes to export the robot to other ageing societies such as South Korea and China, in the future.

ReplyDeleteThanks Zooming Japan, Yes, is a little scary when you think about it. A robot massaging your head with its powerful motorized arm and fingers. I think a movie could be made of this :)

I'd try t out. And I can easily imagine a future in Japan where the robots fill the menia jobs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas, I'd definitely give it a try just once as well :) I believe you are right and a day in the near future Japan will have robots doing all the little jobs.
