Concept

NIN_NIN is a robot that shares bodily functions through technology.

It can lend sight to visually impaired people via a camera, or lend language to non-native speakers through a speaker and microphone. It also lets a visually impaired person and someone who has difficulty leaving home help each other directly.

By sharing bodily functions through NIN_NIN, people can support each other and grow a warmer world. We're currently working with several local governments to use the system for tourism, and to support shopping for disabled people who find it hard to leave the house.
