The Bar Where the Bartenders Work from Home

In Tokyo, robotics company OryLab has opened OrySnack, a bar where bartenders work remotely. Bartender Guro, who has facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, controls an OriHime robot — equipped with hands, a camera, a screen and a microphone — to mix and serve drinks from a distance. The company says the venture aims to expand employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
