Summary
The Xiaoban will safely navigate a home, clean up after users, and empty itself all on its own. During a recent expo in Shanghai that focuses on elderly care, assistive devices, and rehabilitation medicine, a Chinese company called Yueban debuted a smart toilet that does something they haven’t seen before; it comes to you. In lieu of paper, the toilet features both a built-in bidet and a warm air drying mechanism for cleaning the user, plus a system that self-cleans the bowl and seals waste inside an enclosed receptacle. After the user is finished, the toilet will head to one of two places.
