      To me too it's a very forward thinking idea and I'd love to hear more from the pilots and the people involved in the cafe as well. I'm starting graduate research in robotics and this to me seems like such a positive impactful way of using robots as an avatar that hadn't occurred to me before. I like how they call it an experimental cafe. In the course of operating it, what have they learned and where else can this idea go in the future?

      This part actually had me tearing up a bit. With the amount of shut-ins we have, and folks in homes that get few, if any visitors, this could be a fantastic way of getting them reconnecting with others.
      Then, we could infuse the people who are in care because of health issues and allow them to feel like a part of society again as well.

    It's great that there are robots through which we can work, but workplaces should still be made accessible to disabled people and those who risk becoming disabled, which is to say everyone. So, not just ramps and accessible cabinetry, but also a work culture that accommodates those who may need to call out sick on short notice or who can only work part time. Pay equity between disabled people and so-called able bodied people -- something that still isn't the case in the US, though I'm unsure if it is in Japan. Also, ventilation technology and masking, because SARS-CoV-2 is still being transmitted and the risk of catching the virus is still barring disabled people, those who can't afford to transmit it to us, and those who just don't want to become disabled by COVID-19, from entering public spaces. Masking by, say, Megan and Ben who, despite interacting with scores of Japanese people who are still (rightly) wearing masks, aren't wearing them themselves in 2024.
    Robots aren't enough. Accommodating workplaces should be the goal. Everyone has a hand in making workplaces accessible, even the authors of this video.
