Doggie Robots tell you when your feet stink!

Hey! Good to see you. Help yourself to a mugga and a virtual treat while I fill you in on what those inventive Japanese are up to now. 

CrazyLobo robots have much to say about your mouth and foot odor

Japanese company CrazyLobo has developed a humanoid resembling a female and a robotic dog which reports the level of unpleasant odors of their owner through vocal and behavioral responses.

The robotic dog named Shuntaro-kun does not give vocal responses with specific messages but responds in a behavioral way when rating the smell of a person’s feet. Good smelling feet will elicit a nuzzling reaction from the robotic dog, but a slightly bad feet odor will induce it to bark. Strong bad feet odor will make it fall down and growl. But a pair of extremely stinky feet will cause it to lose consciousness.

Japan is known for its polite and proprietary culture as well as for its advanced progress in technology. CrazyLobo integrates the two to come up with a solution to the ancient problem of letting someone know when they smell bad.

Now ain't that something, eh. Nong and I are on the lookout for a robot dog...not the foot-smelling type - just your average, run of the mill robot dog. Let me know if you see one in a store anywhere, eh. Don't have to feed it, walk it, get it shots, take it to the vet and it won't chew your shoes.

See ya, eh!
