A Society in Symbiosis with Robots

OriHime has arrived at our house!

Starting today, I'm beginning my life with a robot.

She was named "Himetan" after "Pepatan," the name given to Pepper by Tomochan, a KMD doctoral student who lives right in the neighborhood.

The next time you visit museums around the country, why don't you transform into Himetan and come along?

Huh? What happens to the ticket price in that case?
