If you’re tired of the traditional act of showering upright and having to do all the work yourself, meet the Avant Santelubain 999 from Japan. The automatic washing device is a robotic bath, aptly dubbed the “Human Washing Machine,” that you climb into and close on top of yourself.

Inside the robotic bath, you can treat yourself to a [Body Shampoo and Shower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-rejuvenation-shower-system), Infrared Heat and Steam, [Sound Therapy, Aromatherapy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-therapy-booth), Seaweed Pack, and Body Lotion. It also sterilizes and self-cleans too, so no more scrubbing shower screens! (Hooray!)

I’m really curious about the Seaweed Pack and Body lotion. How does the robot apply these?
