Chinese company U-Ban unveiled a self-driving toilet robot called Xiaoban that costs around $4,000. Designed for elderly and mobility-impaired users, it can be summoned to a bedside and autonomously navigate around the home. The robot features odor control and self-cleaning systems. After use, it returns to a docking station connected to household plumbing, where it disposes of waste, cleans and sanitizes itself, refills fresh water, and recharges for its next use.
