A Chinese company, Yueban, has unveiled a robotic toilet that can drive to a user’s bedside, clean itself after use, and return to a docking station. The product, called Xiaoban, debuted at the 2026 Shanghai International Elderly Care Expo in China, according to multiple reports covering the event.
The company, an accessibility brand owned by Tuobang, designed the system primarily for older adults and people with mobility limitations who may struggle to reach a traditional bathroom independently. The product could also appeal to assisted living facilities and nursing homes seeking to reduce caregiver workloads while allowing residents greater independence.
