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


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.
It is hoped the project will give more independence to people with disabilities.
Edit: this article is several years old. It does seem via researching that this cafe is still in existence. If anyone has a more recent update, I'd love to hear about it. I saw a post on Reddit that was very recent but it was referencing the 2018 article.

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.
