Clean the public urinals with the Elephantine urinal robot in Kobe Japan
|

These huge cleansing robots are known as elephantine e'pissoir. They are about 100kg and might possibly consume more place than a person in the urine. Ok, it is hard to imagine how shoving and wrestling the 100kg DCBA robot into position would be a savings in labor. In the top photo, the DCBA robot dwarfs the operator girl. However, the company claims the machine cleans one urinal in 10 seconds and saves eight liters of water in the process. The robots are intended for the cleaning operations of large institutions including highway rest areas and public restrooms of railroads.
The selling price will be 1 million yen (about $9,700 USD).
