Robotic toilet maintains personal hygiene as the sick attends nature’s call

We’ve read and learnt about all the amazing developments in robotics that help paraplegics, physically disabled or people in poor health regain their independence and live a dignified life. However this particular concept goes beyond expectations to maintain privacy and personal dignity of the infirm. Dubbed as ‘Nature’s Call’ the concept is a mobile robotic toilet especially designed for bed ridden patients.

The interactive device approaches the sick person’s bed upon request. Once used the device automatically rolls back to the station to clean itself. It ensures personal hygiene using a bidet and hair dryer function while at the same time maintaining privacy.

Developed as part of a study project on Ambient Assistan Living, the robot finds great use in geriatric care, retirement home, home care service and rehabilitation clinic calls.
