Where else then in Robot-crazy Asia would someone come up with the idea to design a robot which collects money for charity. In South Korea, DONA, a small robot, which reminds us slightly of Little Red Riding Hood, is the latest aid in collecting funds for charity. DONA is placed in front of billboards, on which the charity is explained. He, it is a he, holds up his hand. When people donate their money, he reacts with appreciative gestures and sounds. Like our ' Papier hier' in the Efteling park. It will come as no surprise that especially young children like DONA. |

These 'dentists' practice in the streets, sitting on a floor cloth, needles, prostheses, it's all there.
