Robo Japan 2008

The past two weeks have been pretty crazy here in Japan. We had the CEATEC (our coverage here CEATEC 2008), then the Tokyo Game Show, more news will come later today and Monday (our coverage here Tokyo Game Show 2008). Today was the start of ROBO JAPAN 2008!

Let’s begin with Wakamaru. This little yellow autonomous robot can be controlled either by voice commands, or a suit that reproduces all user arm movements. (more photos in the gallery below)

Asimo, Honda's robot, was at the event and showed us a couple of new tricks, soccer play and dancing. (more photos in the gallery below, and one of our HD videos of the latest Asimo press conference: See more of the Honda Asimo robot demo! )
