What if you didnโt have to walk to the toilet because the toilet could come to you?
Xiaoban by Yueban is a self-driving robot toilet designed for people with limited mobility. Instead of remaining fixed in one location, the toilet can move around a home and travel to the user when called.
A Toilet That Comes to You
Xiaoban is designed to navigate around obstacles as it moves through a home. When the user calls it, the robot toilet travels to their location.
This approach is intended to make bathroom use more accessible for people who have difficulty moving between a bed, chair, or other locations and a conventional bathroom.
Once it arrives, the user can use the toilet without having to travel to a fixed bathroom fixture.
Built-In Bidet and Warm-Air Dryer
After use, Xiaoban provides built-in washing and drying functions.
The toilet includes a bidet for cleaning and a warm-air dryer. These features are integrated into the robot rather than requiring separate bathroom equipment.
After the user finishes, Xiaoban can return to its docking station.
Returning to the Dock
The docking station is where the robot handles its waste and cleaning processes.
After returning from use, Xiaoban aligns with the existing household toilet and extends a disposal arm. The system is designed to transfer the waste into the household toilet.
An internal low-noise grinder processes the solid waste together with liquids, breaking it down into a slurry before it is flushed away.
According to the provided information, this process is designed to help the waste pass through the plumbing without clogging.
Odor Control and Sterilization
Xiaoban also incorporates systems designed to control odors and maintain hygiene.
The robot uses activated charcoal filters for sealed odor control. It also uses dual UV sterilization as part of its cleaning and hygiene system.
The waste is contained inside the robotโs internal bowl during use and handling, keeping the process enclosed.
Designed for Limited Mobility
The main purpose of Xiaoban is to provide a mobile toilet option for people with limited mobility.
A conventional toilet requires the user to travel to a fixed location. Xiaoban reverses that arrangement by bringing the toilet to the user.
Once the toilet is no longer needed, it can return to its dock, where the waste disposal and cleaning processes take place.
A Different Approach to Home Toilets
Xiaoban combines autonomous movement, a built-in bidet and warm-air dryer, waste processing, odor control, and UV sterilization in a mobile toilet system.
Rather than being permanently installed in one bathroom, it is designed to move around the home and return to its docking station after use.
The concept offers a different approach to toilet access, particularly for people who have difficulty reaching a conventional bathroom.
It sounds unusual compared with a traditional toilet, but Xiaoban is essentially designed to bring the toilet to the person instead of requiring the person to go to the toilet.
