Chinou Gijutsu
Lady Bird, a cleaning robot shaped like a lady bug, is a prototype talking robot that cleans the bathrooms at highway rest stops and was developed by Chinou Gijutsu. The striking features of the Lady Bird include its cleaning capabilities and its communication function that makes people feel relaxed when they visit the rest stops. The robot responds to simple daily conversation and is connected to the internet through wireless LAN so that it can promptly provide visitors with information such as up-to-date traffic conditions, nearby tourist sites, and weather forecasts. With a cute exterior and a pleasant voice, Lady Bird has a calming effect on visitors and can help alleviate stress.
