Coinciding with the start of the Tokyo Paralympics on 24 August is the launch of a new café in the Japanese capital city where the staff are made up of robots as waiters that are controlled and operated by people with disabilities who are unable to leave their house.
The 120cm-tall robot waiters at Dawn Café in Tokyo are essentially "avatars" called OriHime-D and are equipped with a camera, microphone, and speaker which allows workers with disabilities to see and hear what the robots are doing in the restaurant.
What's more, these workers can even speak to their customers in real-time by typing out messages which the robots will then vocalise.
The café is part of the latest venture of Japanese robotics company Ory Laboratory Inc, which is working to create a society that is inclusive and accessible.
It is said that the company's CEO and co-founder, Kentaro Yoshifuju, was inspired to design these robot avatars after being bed-ridden in the hospital for almost three years.
