If you've ever watched the hit Japanese anime show Gundam Wing, you may have fantasized about owning and piloting your own giant, humanoid robot. Well now the chance may finally be yours. Engineers in Osaka, led by lead designer Hajime Sakamoto, have finally finished a massive operational humanoid robot with a built-in cockpit into which the driver of the robot can climb and direct the movements of the metal behemoth after 6 years of construction.
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.

Port-au-Prince (Haiti), Jun 27 (EFE) .- Hundreds of Haitians with disabilities have survived since June 20 in inhumane conditions in a communal school in Pétion-Ville, in the capital, devoid of basic social services such as water, hygiene and food.FOOTAGE FROM THE STREETS IN PORT AU PRINCESOUNDBITES FROM SAMUEL JEAN AND PHILOGNE GESNER, BLIND PEOPLEJean: When we got here, there was dust everywhere. So far the space is dirty. We are packed like sardines to sleep on. This is our situation here. For me, the state does not exist, "said the blind man, well known in areas of Port-au-Prince for the song he uses when he begs for alms.These refugees with special needs spent several days in the courtyard of St. Yves Parish before being brought to this school by the Office of the Secretary of State for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities.HOW DID THEY GET THERE?"It was an event that happened that made us be here today. Our house was consumed by fire. We have nowhere to sleep. In this school we have come to take refuge," continued Samuel Jean.Gesner: This is a criminal action that we deplore. That is why we demand justice and reparation. Because we are vulnerable people," said Philogène Gesner, who heads an organization that defends the rights of the disabled.This is at least the second time that the camp, located in a precarious area of the capital, has been burned. This time, people accuse the National Police. Because of this, Gesner wonders if they are acting criminally to exterminate the disabled."It is an arson. The camp was set on fire by the specialized unit (of the Police) called CIMO on the pretext that the place was a hiding place for bandits. Without any professionalism, they decided to burn the space," complained the activist.
