We would argue that we don’t need a robot to pass judgement on body odor, but then perhaps better a robot than a girl. Having the appearance of just a head, the humanoid robot girl sits on a rectangular pink and red box. Should you come close to the robotic lady, Kaori-chan and have her smell your breath, she will tell you what she thinks, ranging from “It smells like citrus” to “Emergency taking place.” Arguably, the scent of citrus is always better than the smell of an emergency.
The hound, while unable to speak passes its judgement in gestures of varying degrees of affection. The foot sniffing robot dog will be all cuddly if things are going well, but will start growling to let you know that a change of socks is in order. On the extreme end, the poor robot dog will simply collapse as Chopin’s funeral march plays in the background. That in our mind is quite a funny picture and a recipe for bad foot hygiene.
Both the bots are the work of Japanese company CrazyLabo and Kitakyushu National College of Technology.
