Robotic Hand Cleansers

This Robotic Hand Washer and Dryer Cleans Your Hands So You Don't Have To

— May 2, 2014 — Tech
The Robo-Washer is a hand washer and dryer that gives your hands a comprehensive cleansing. The device is a natural step forward from the Dyson Airblade dryer, which struck everyone as an incredibly cool hand-drying solution when it was introduced in 2006.

The Robo-Washer delivers 360-degree jets of high-pressure soapy water followed by a blast of drying air to give you an all-inclusive touch-free hand-cleaning experience with no mess or hassle. It's essentially a car-wash for your hands -- users stick their hands in the hole and rub them together as they're sprayed with soapy water. Users then keep rubbing their hands together as the Robo-Washer shifts to dryer mode.

Drippings from the Robo-Washer are discreetly and effectively contained a bucket drain system so there's no mess or spillage.

The developers of this robotic hand washer and dryer are trying to raise $100,000 of funds through the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.
