Japan has unveiled Mirai Ningen Sentakuki or the “human washing machine,” an AI-powered device that can wash and dry a person’s body in just 15 minutes.The human washing machine, developed by Osaka-based Science Co., uses artificial intelligence to analyze your body before delivering a customised wash-and-dry experience.The machine looks like a pod or fighter cockpit and it takes 15 minutes to wash a human. It will be showcased at the Osaka Kansai Expo in Japan, Where 1,000 guests will try the machine.“We’re about 70 percent there. We plan to offer 1,000 general visitors an opportunity to use it during the expo,” company chairman Yasuaki Aoyama told The Asahi Shimbun.Seven to eight people will be able to experience a wash-and-dry job each day, Aoyama added.The machine fills partially with hot water when the bather sits in the seat, which is embeded with sensors to check person’s pulse and other date to ensure appropriate water temperature. It uses microscopic bubbles to clean the body of the user. At the same time, an AI system monitors the user, if the person is calm or excited. It also plays video inside the pod to help the person refreshed.This concept is not new as the first “human washing machine” was unveiled by Sanyo Electric in 1970. It used hot water and emitted ultrasound waves and also had plastic balls to massage person’s body but the device never made it to the market.However, Yasuaki Aoyama has not revealed the price or when the product will be available for public.
