But by investigating, we're allowed to get closer to them. That may allow them to blend into society.
This mechanical mud-spewing contraption is Dorodorobo, and it's probably the most disgusting robot ever. Dorodorobo leaves a brown trail of gunk wherever it roams, which is basically all that this robot is capable of. The Maywa Denki Corporation, a Japanese tech company, actually took the time and resources to create this abhorrent bot and may even release it to the market.
Japanese manufacturing giant Panasonic unveiled Cocotto, the rolling, smiling robot who wants to help you raise your kids, at CEATEC, or the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies, in Chiba, Japan on Tuesday. The spherical robot is designed as an "educational companion" for children and is programmed to entertain kids but also to help them form good habits, like brushing teeth, eating, and going to the bathroom.
Are you looking for a table tennis partner? Well this next level robotic human assistant may bring out the best in your game by practicing with you tirelessly for hours. Visitors of Japan's 2016 Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies, or CEATEC, got a chance to work on their own serves with Omron's latest ping-pong robot. Omron's robot is able to predict the ball's path and return it consistently, but the ping pong robot is actually being designed and modified for factory work instead of becoming the next ping-pong legend. The company is preparing their robot to assist humans at factory assembly lines, to help pick and place different parts together for assembly. CEATEC is Japan's largest IT and electronics trade show, and many manufacturers and innovators show off their latest products at the tech show.
Visitors to the Tokyo Robot Center Showroom on Tokyo's Odaiba Island watched as a DuAro dual-armed SCARA robot made traditional Japanese nigiri sushi as part of a project launched by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The robot gracefully placed the fish toppings on little balls of rice while explaining every movement with audio and text appearing on the robot's 'face', which consisted of a mouth, nose, and big black eyes animated on a screen in between the two arms. The chef-bot was featured at the newly opened 'Kawasaki Robostage', a location open to the public designed to demonstrate the future of coexistence between humans and robots. It's part of a larger initiative from the Japanese government called 'Robot Strategy', which aims to introduce more widespread robot usage at every level of society. Robot Strategy has a dual purpose - to help manage the effects of a rapidly aging society by filling in for jobs usually handled by young people and to make Japan a global center for robotics innovation in order to serve the demands of the global economy of the future.
