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' initial 5,000 c-masks will be transported to purchasers in Japan beginning in September, with Ono hoping to sell in China, the United States, and Europe as well. There has been solid intrigue, he said.

At about $40 per cover, Donut Robotics is focusing on a mass-market that didn't exist until a couple of months back. One point, he stated, is to create income from supporter administrations offered by means of an application that clients will download.

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.
