The Mirai Ningen Sentakki, which means human washing machine, was shown at Expo 2025 Osaka and was developed by the firm Science to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the prototype human washing machine shown at Expo 1970 Osaka. At the expo site, visitors can try out this human washing machine if they dare.
Originally just a prototype, Science is now offering the Mirai Ningen Sentakki for 60 million Yen (~RM 1.59 million) to interested customers with only 60 units to be produced.
It washes the human body in just 5 minutes with the user sitting in a lying position. In the initial stage, the human body will be immersed before a shower system and soapy water spray will clean the dirt on the body.
While sitting in the cleaning pod, the user will be shown a video and soothing music. The pulse will be tracked by Mirai Ningen Sentakki to see the stress level. After the cleaning cycle is complete, the water will be removed from the chamber and the user can exit to dry off.
Science reveals the cost of building the Mirai Ningen Sentakki prototype cost 100 million Yen (~RM 2.78 million). If you're the lazy type to take a shower, you can head to the birthplace of Doraemon to try out the world's first commercial human washing machine for yourself.
