A cafe where the robot waiters are remote-piloted by paralyzed people

Dawn ver.Ξ² is a Tokyo cafe in Akasaka where all the table service is performed by 120 cm tall OriHime-D robots that are piloted by people who are paralyzed and work from home; it was inspired by a fictional cafe of the same name in the 2008 anime Time of Eve.

▼ This video shows how an ALS patient, unable to speak, can use his eyes to type messages that can then be spoken by the OriHime-D robot.

▼ And here another paralyzed man using a OriHime-D serves a coffee.
