Tech Sanyo's ‘Human washing machine’

Aoyama said seven to eight people will be able to experience a "wash-and-dry" job each day. The company accepts reservations on a special page of its website. The human washing machine is shaped like the cockpit of a jet fighter. It even has a transparent cover that opens to the back. When the bather sits in the seat in the centre, the device partially fills with hot water. Sensors embedded in the seat measure the person's pulse and other biological data to ensure the bather is washed at an appropriate temperature. At the same time, an AI system determines whether the user is calm or excited and projects images inside the transparent cover to help the person feel refreshed. A wash and dry takes 15 minutes. Sanyo Electric's human washing machine exhibited during the 1970 event was called Ultrasonic Bath. When the bather sat inside the egg-shaped tub, it automatically filled with hot water and emitted ultrasound waves. It also released plastic balls to massage the person's body.

By simply lying down in a 2.3-meter-long capsule, the bather is washed by the machine with microbubbles and a fine mist shower, with the whole process, including drying, completed in about 15 minutes. Sensors monitor a bather's health during use, while the machine provides relaxing visuals and music. More than 40,000 applications were submitted for the bathing experience at the expo, which ended in October.

How the Human Washing Machine Works
1. Enter the Capsule: The user lies down inside a 2.3-meter-long enclosed pod designed for a full-body wash.
2. Automatic Wash Begins: The machine uses microbubbles and a fine mist shower to gently clean the entire body.
3. Health Monitoring: Built-in sensors track the user's vital signs during the wash to ensure safety.
4. Relaxation Experience: While the wash is in progress, calming visuals and soothing music are played inside the capsule.
5. Drying Process: After washing, the machine dries the user automatically, completing the entire experience in around 15 minutes.
6. Exit Refreshed: The user steps out fully clean, relaxed, and monitored-no towels or manual effort needed.
