Yueban unveils Xiaoban self-driving toilet robot at ~28,999 yuan

Yueban, a Tuobang-owned brand, showed Xiaoban at the 2026 Shanghai aged-care expo, calling it the world's first self-driving toilet robot. It navigates to the bedside via LiDAR and 3D obstacle-avoidance AI, self-cleans with a bidet, warm air and UV light, then docks to grind waste, refill and recharge. It costs about 28,999 yuan (~$4,000) in China; international pricing is unannounced.
