Mospeng-kun Tissue Dispensing Robot

Mospeng-kun is a tissue-dispensing robot created by InterRobot Inc., a robot development and rental company based in western Japan.

When the friendly Mospeng-kun detects a person nearby, it utters a high-pitched onegai shimasu and offers up a pack of tissues.
When the tissues are taken from the robot’s hand, it thanks the customer with an arigato gozaima#a and grabs another tissue pack from the cartridge for the next person.

InterRobot’s rental fees start at 100,000 yen ($835) for 5 days, which is quite a bit more than the going rate for a human tissue distributor.
But Mospeng-kun looks to be a cheerful worker, constantly maintaining a smile on its face monitor.

I particularly don't see any market for these robots in the U.S., apart
from in doctors ofices and Hospitals, but hey, maybe these, or the next
generation of them will be rolling down Tokyo streets offering tissues
to people.


Comments, Opinions?

LOL! Why would anyone buy a tissue dispensing robot for thier store or whatever when a metal rack will do the exact same job.

How bout they make it despense something more useful.. Like say a nice frosty one, and it could go ahead and crack the top off for you. Now that would be a hit LOL
