NIN_NIN is a body sharing robot which shares body functions using technology. For example, we can share sight for the visually impaired using cameras, and share foreign language for foreigners using a microphone. Also both the visually impaired and the individuals who are unable to leave home can help each other. Sharing our body function through NIN_NIN, we can help each other and create a greater good. At present, we are collaborating with several local governments and using the system for tourism and shopping support for people with disabilities who are unable to leave their homes.
