Robot With Step-On Interface
To make it easy for people with disabilities and the elderly to operate an in-home robot, professor Matsumaru of the Shizuoka University came up with a new kind of interface: the step-on interface. The step-on interface (SOI) function uses a projector to display the operation screen on the surface of the floor, and the user steps on the buttons to display the operation instructions.

come on, he would'nt be a match to a real dishwashing machine, poor thing is remote controlled and with a security wire because it's scared it will fall.
that robot if wireless would kick some serious ... in a real live anime film :)

@Lexx: No, it can't compete with a dishwasher... I was only joking. But I hope they are working on robots that can put dishes in and out of the dishwasher. :-)
