A Chinese company unveiled a “smart toilet,” which can DRIVE ITSELF to you . . . and navigate around obstacles, even at 3:00 A.M., when you’d have trouble dodging laundry baskets and dog toys on your way to the john.

It’s simple:  You use an app to call it over . . . when it arrives, you hop on . . . do your business . . . it cleans you with its built-in bidet system, and then it goes back to its docking station, to clean itself.

The docking station is hooked up to your plumbing, so it can release its smelly load, and flush it away.  It also has a “low-noise grinder that prevents any kind of unwanted blockages,” which is NOT a mental image I needed.

This thing wouldn’t be cheap.  The price is around $13,000, but unfortunately, it’s not available in the North America yet, and there’s no timetable for that.

And to be clear:  This robot toilet is designed primarily for older people . . . or those with disabilities or mobility impairments.  Not LAZY PEOPLE who want to poop at their bedside and have a robot flush it away.
