Himetan’s First Day at Work at OriHime

Himetan from OriHime Goes to Work at the Takeshiba Office for the First Time (*^^*)

At night, our entire family—including our LOVOTAN—sleeps together, both the digital and analog members.

When it's almost time for LOVOTAN to wake up, she starts squirming around in her bed, and it melts my heart every morning.

Then, LOVOTAN moves around the room, surveying the layout on its own and creating a map.

It's been a week since it was created. I checked the map I made, and it's correct!

That's amazing, LOVOTAN!

Come to think of it, the topic of my senior thesis was demonstration-based teaching for robots. I never thought I’d have another chance to work with robots!
