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.''

This is not just a stylish cafe. The cafe's employees are not only on-site staff, but also robot employees. These robots are not controlled by AI, but by people living far away.

Although they are bedridden due to physical disabilities, or have difficulty going out for various reasons such as caring for family members or mental illness, they still have the desire to "participate in society and connect with people," and they are able to participate in society by using OriHime, an second 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?
