This is a great concept. It does feel weird though that it’s tied to an anime... I can’t tell why exactly this exists. Is it a venture into much needed independence for paralyzed people? Or... is it horribly distasteful advertising that will soon be taken away?
I highly doubt that advertising a 10 year old anime would be very profitable. If anything it's an ad for the robots. The robots designed specifically to help disabled people.
Two of the three cofounders of the company were bedridden for long periods of time due to illness and wanted to help people in similar situations. They also employ several physically disabled people as remote workers.
It won't soon be taken away though, it already shut down. It was intended as a short pilot run. They plan to partner with some existing restaurants for the same sort of thing on a more permanent basis starting next year.
