We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used that technology to create a product that responds to how the coronavirus has reshaped society"

As face covers become the standard in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Japanese startup Donut Robotics has built up a web associated "keen veil" that can transmit messages and make an interpretation of from Japanese into eight different dialects.

The white plastic "c-mask" fits over standard face covers and interfaces by means of Bluetooth to a cell phone and tablet application that can interpret discourse into instant messages, make calls, or intensify the cover wearer's voice.

Doughnut Robotics manufactured a model associated cover inside a month by adjusting interpretation programming produced for its robot and a veiled plan that one of the organization's specialists, Shunsuke Fujibayashi, made four years prior for an understudy venture to decipher discourse by planning face muscles.

Ono raised 28 million yen ($260,000) for improvement by selling Donut Robotics shares through the Japanese crowdfunding site Fundinno.

"We raised our underlying objective of 7 million yen inside three minutes and halted following 37 minutes when we had arrived at 28 million yen," he said.
