What is Avatar Robot?

When you enter Dawn cafe, you can find white robot named “Ori-Hime“. Ori-Hime is not AI (Artificial Intelligence), remotely controlled by actual people from their home, who have any kind of reasons such as physically disabled, illness, injury, ALS, or any kind of circumstances.

The Avatar robot OriHime, is a communication tool that was created to help realize the conventional social aspects of life and work. More notably to solve the “restrictions posed on movement” caused by hospitalization, physical disability, etc.

There are manly two type of avatar robots, small one without leg and large one with leg.
Staff called “Pilot” are controlling these Ori-Hime from their home, could be thousand of miles away.
It’s so wonderful to communicate with them – Kids are excited talking with robot, and the pilots sounds enjoying so much with talking with kids.
