The founders just read too many X-Men comics as kids, and have been trying to live the closest thing they can to a Marvel Girl life ever since. Creating robots that remove the need for physical contact is just their attempt to simulate telekinesis, much like all the experimental brain surgery they've been doing on those vagrants they "adopted" is just in hopes of developing telepathy. Somebody should probably stop them, come to think of it. But that hands-free toilet seat IS pretty cool.
