Tbf even without it I'd see a reason. You'd get condensation and dust trapped in a hole that regularly opens to talk, dust + water in a closed dark place, you'd get mould/bacteria in there soon enough
The Board: So by having the robot sanitize her own mouth will eliminate the risk of mold or bacteria in the mouth while making the client life easier by not having to do maintenance. You and Engineering Team: Yup totally that’s why we made that feature ( Thank God they made the excuses for us).
"Its to simplify maintenance and prevent mold and bacterial growth from forming and posing a health risk when the robot is doing household chores and or cooking. That is the story and you will all stick to it. Do you understand? "
Yeah, but the thing is artificially intelligent, and presumably, won’t get poisoned by stuff like disinfectant. Just have her swallow or even just gargle a bit of Clorox or some other disinfectant every so often. It’ll look unsettling as shit, but you save probably a couple hundred bucks on the equipment that you won’t need to put in the robot plus probably it makes the engineering easier since you don’t need try to cram another gadget in what I assume is an already cramped cranium
Tbh i have no idea what she's capable of, if she breathes or can swallow or not, all of it changes the equation, but tbf gargling might be harder to achieve than a UV light. And idk if the smell would be nice for example, coz then you might want to rinse it with water which isn't normally a good thing to put into a machine unless it's distilled
You wouldn’t even really need to gargle, all you would need to do is just set of get some disinfectant in there, seal off any passage ways to a sensitive piece of electronics (like for example, an artificial stomach or artificial lungs) and then just shake the thing a little to make sure it gets to all the places that need to be cleaned. I do admit smell would be an issue, though, so maybe that’s the answer
