A bistro with a robot staff limited by deaf individuals has opened in Tokyo.The bistro, called Dawn ver.β, held its strip-cutting service on November 26.Ten people with diseases like ALS and other spinal cord injuries are now used at Dawn, according to Sankei.
From home, they work with the OriHime-D, a 120-centimeter (4-foot) robot that transports, moves, and manipulates objects. Behind OriHime-D is Ory, a startup that creates mechanical technology for disabled people. In one photo, a sleepy man is seen "writing" orders through his eyes.The OriHime-D can also be used by people related to childcare, nursing care or different exercises that prevent them from leaving home or a specific area."In fact, even people who can't go out can get past this adjustment of consciousness and have a job in the public realm," Ory noted.First Light (Diverse Avatar Working Network), in view of a similar bistro in the 2008 anime "Season of Eve," envisions a cafe where people and robots associate as equivalents, SoraNews24 noted.
The bistro, located in the Akasaka district of the Japanese capital, is a joint effort between Ory, All Nippon Airways (ANA), the Nippon Foundation and the Avatar Robotics Consultative Association (ARCA).For his administration, each administrator is paid 1,000 yen ($ 8.80) for 60 minutes, the standard compensation for low-maintenance jobs in Japan.
Not with standing, Dawn will only run until December 7, as the beta proposes on its behalf.
The bistro relied on crowdfunding before it opened, raising more than double its goal of 1.5 million yen ($ 13,000). With proceeded with help, and opens in 2020.
