Imagine a pod-like shower that seems straight out of a science fiction movie, but it could soon be part of our daily lives.

This is thanks to Japan’s latest invention, the Mirai Ningen Sentakuki, also called the “human washing machine”.

Developed by the Osaka-based company Science Co, this Al-powered bathing device is built for both convenience and wellness.

It uses advanced water jets, microscopic air bubbles and a smart system that adapts to your body’s needs.

The machine could change the way we think about personal hygiene.

More importantly, it could hold life-changing potential for elderly people and caregivers around the world.

How does the machine work?

The process is simple but futuristic: You step into a capsule-like pod, which fills halfway with warm water.

High-speed jets release billions of microscopic bubbles that gently burst against the skin, lifting away dirt and bacteria without harsh scrubbing.

An AI system monitors vital signs, adjusting water temperature, bubble density and pressure in real time for maximum comfort.

To enhance relaxation, the machine pojects calming visuals inside the pod and analyses the user's emotional state to tailor the experience.

For many older adults, something as basic as bathing can become a daily struggle.
