Toriko

Robot

Since then, he has been dedicated to taking care of Toriko with the help of factoryAI. It seems to be a home-use robot that was once widespread.

factoryAI

An artificial intelligence that manages a “self-propagation shelter” hastily constructed by humanity to combat the toxic fungi. It cooperates with the robot to take care of Toriko, but unlike the robot, factoryAI is unable to move, so it helps the robot through knowledge and information obtained from the database. It was destroyed upon getting wrapped up in the humanity restoration project.
