OriHime
OriHime is a robot that is operated by humans, not AI.
Even if you find it difficult to go out due to disability, illness, nursing care, hospitalization, etc., you can still meet the people you want to see and go where you want to go.
This robot was created to fulfill the wish of ``I want to be with you even when we are apart.''
pilot
The person who works and operates OriHime is called a ❝pilot❞, and pilots operate OriHime using PCs, smartphones, tablets, etc.
Although he was unable to go out due to various reasons such as being bedridden due to a physical disability, caring for a family member, or having a mental illness, he had a desire to ``participate in society and connect with people,'' and started a new project called ❝OriHime❞. I participate in society by using my body❞.
DAWN's thoughts
Our store is a ``public permanent experimental store'' that studies new ways of working from home and participating in society for people who have difficulty leaving their homes due to disabilities or incurable diseases.
As people go through life, they never know when they will develop a condition called physical disability. As you get older, your body may no longer move as you want, and you may become bedridden.
When faced with such problems that everyone would face, will they be able to create options to stay connected to society? Our aim is to create such a "beyond bedridden".
Would you like to come and experience a future in which impossible things can be solved with technology?
