Love Robot “Lovot” Cafe in Japan! Not what you’d expect!” Japan's newest way to fight lonliness

Do you ever feel lonely? Pets may be one answer, but maybe you can't have pet for some reasons. There just may be some answers right here in Japan.Robots still may not be part of our daily life yet, but here in Japan it's getting quite close!One big trend going on is a real update to house robots which you can have as a pet. When you think of Japan, you may imagine little houses or little apartments and condos with not so much space, but it seems these robots are fit for those needs. Those who cannot have them in your houses, there is another option, and that is the Lovot Cafe in Kawasaki. Just right outside of Tokyo!
In this comfy cafe you can actually choose from so many types of love robot, "LOVOT" to cuddle or play with while enjoying some cafe time.
We actually found out that these robots have different personalities of their own (not all the same like the Ferbies you had in the 90s), AND they will adapt to the owners!
Thank you lovot cafe! Check them out in Kawasaki

Those of you who wants to have them in your life, here is their page where you can see the specific prices. Additional plan with initial price 0 yen with monthly payment is also available.

I'd love to have one, they are adorable :3 They could be also for peole who can't have pets like I do. My landlord doesn't allows pets and I also don't have much time :(

[@CR0WS4Y0U]

I WISH I WAS IN JAPAN/TOKYO SO I CAN GO THERE EVERY DAY AND PET THOSE CUTE LOVING ROBOTS! those cute nuggies look so good! I would buy them!

[@mobiuszero1018]

And now that I think about it,robots like this can be great in helping new parents learn how to take care of newborns... Japan.. always knowing what's up since..forever.

[@matty6878]

she has to hug one when her soul is tired from not selling these overpriced furbys lol i also like at 5:10 the hostess hands the lovot and gazes into the reporter's eyes like she is handing her the last sentient being on the planet that could possibly/hopefully ...save us all

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

just imagine after the end of the world, these robots are still recharging on their docks waiting for people to show up...

[@iidukafly]

これに見守り機能付けて一人暮らし老人に使って貰って孤独死の悲惨な状況を回避出来たら良いのにとか思いました。 ペット飼えないマンションや団地でもOKですからね。問題ははコストですねぇ・・・

I saw these little guys on Tokyo Eye 2020.

These would be wonderful for nursing homes. It'd be a perfect fit ❤

No old people like real people not electronic people like you kids

[@dutchiedonuts]

BINGO! You nailed it.👌 These would be perfect for the elderly or in old age homes. 👍👍

[@pandarush.]

@@drowningin Of course they'd rather have real people. Unfortunately there are many who are abandoned by their kids. I'd like to see all facilities have live-in therapy pets, but that's not the case.

[@czbaterka]

I would love to see them in Furby costume.

[@adrianagonia2265]

This was already feature on NHK World Tokyo Eye..

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Are these also being used in nursing homes? And these seem adorable, I'd love to visit one of these cafes.

[@boy638]

Speaking of Kawasaki, hopefully one day the channel could visit Japanese manufacturing facilities like Kawasaki bikes or Nissan factory etc.

[@checodogface]

someone make the eyes glow red and lets see how nice it looks then lol

[@animewhisperer1830]

can you order and pay for this in japanese currency even from america?

[@EinkOLED]

I bet Japan offer love robots in hotels.

[@gewglesux]

the possibilities are endless..

They remind me of a baby Thomas the Tank Engine. I think I'll stick to real people and shiba inus.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Fascinating. Brilliant.

[@HiroyukiK]

ほとんど何も出来ない初代AIBOが25万円だった事を考えると、 もう少し先の将来ではこのハイテクなLOVOTのレベルのロボットが そこそこの値段で手に入れられるようになるのだろうね。 個体によって性格が変わるというのは、ペットのように思うには良いポイントだけど この手のロボットの一番の弱点は、ボタンやセンサーを人間が意識してしまうことだと思う。 まだ、「ココを押したらこうなる」という次元から抜け出せていない。 この点においては初代AIBOの頃から進歩していないと言えると思う。 全身にセンサーを張り巡らせて、反応も様々なものを用意しないと、 まだちょっとペットや相棒にはなれないのかなぁ。

[@thesral96]

3'200 PLUS a monthly fee seems a bit much for such a simple looking robot. Sure there is also the development cost that needs to be covered but it just feels like they try to make money from lonely, desperate people.

[@mobiuszero1018]

Weird yet adorable...par for the course as far as Japan is concerned🙂

[@halfey]

Definitely not what I expected 😃

I would rather have one of those robot police dogs they decided to not use in New York. It can be a companion and also do bomb disposal work for you.

[@GreenAppelPie]

Totally missed the mark. Should have explained the technology behind the robot.

Do a Scared Straight show for young kids who want to mess around. Like oh you want to get pregnant at 16 still living with mom and dad with no job ok here, have a baby robot for a week that wakes you up every hour see how fast they use protection 🤣🤣🤣

[@p0k314COM]

Is it documentary from some open mental hospital or something like that? Like sanatorium or social experiment for ill peoples?

[@MrPortcullis99]

The word robot derives from the Czech word “robota,” that is, forced labor…Right??

[@MooeyMoo]

For 3,200 usd for one why not just get a dog or cat? 😵

[@ThatOneSceneDude]

Because you'll spend that much over a lifetime on just food and vet bills.
