avishere writes “The International Robot Exhibition kicked off this week
in Tokyo, [0]unveiling the latest whirring and buzzing inventions from
192 companies and 64 organizations from at home and abroad — and bringing
humanity another step closer to irrelevance. Among the humanoid cavalcade
was [1]a prototype robo-chef, showing off its cooking and cutting skills,
along with robots to play with your children, model clothes, and search
for disaster victims. There was also [2]one made almost exclusively of
cardboard. The exhibition — which opened with a human-like robot called
Nextage cutting the ribbon — runs until Saturday.”
