Another amazing innovation in Japan, one that is also very heart-warming. Big respect!

Japanese cafe uses robots controlled by paralysed people

The project aims to give some disabled people more independence, interaction and paid work.

www.bbc.com

A total of 10 people with a variety of conditions that restrict their movement have helped control robots in the Dawn Ver cafe.
The robot's controllers earned 1,000 yen (£7) per hour - the standard rate of pay for waiting staff in Japan.

I first became aware of this café through a news program I saw a few years ago.
I think the idea is the opposite of a metaverse in that you can go to a real space.

Researchers have created a new class of robots that can shift between solid and liquid forms on demand. In a series of tests, these new bots could move and change shape to run obstacle courses, carry objects, or even escape from a jail cell like a Terminator.
