The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) on Tuesday unveiled three humanoid robots that are to be put on display so visitors can interact with them.

Two of the machines were modeled on actual human forms, using special silicone and artificial muscles that resemble and move like the real thing.

Named Otonaroid (Adultroid) and Kodomoroid (Childroid), the robots are able to perform a number of tasks, including welcoming visitors to the museum in Tokyo’s Odaiba district — a job they were to start Wednesday.

Otonaroid resembles a woman. It sits on a couch and responds to comments and is said to be able to carry on a general conversation.

Visitors will be invited to control the machine, prompting it to speak and see its facial expressions change.

Kodomoroid resembles a human child. Its developer bills it as the world’s first robot news reader, saying it can deliver news from around the world.

There is also another robot called Telenoid that is about the size of a baby. It, too, will interact with visitors and can be remotely controlled in the same way as Otonaroid.

The exhibition, titled “Androids — What is Human?” aims to explore what makes humans tick.

The machines were developed by Hiroshi Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University who specializes in humanoid robotics.

“We’ve been wanting to exhibit Mr. Ishiguro’s robots for a long time . . . we are very excited,” said Mahoro Uchida, who heads the museum’s exhibition development division.

Uchida said the exhibition is expected to run for at least three years.

Ishiguro said his research has focused heavily on the nature of humanity and he designs robots to explore that question.

“To create something that helps humans, we need to know what humans are,” he said.

tl;dr
Otonaroid = Adultroid
Kodomoroid = Childroid
both androids :
- are able to perform a number of tasks
- are able to communicate w/ facial expressions as well
- will be at display in the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) for min. 3 years

The development of robots that could save lives is an unparalleled breakthrough, but what if they also could kill?

[YOUTUBE]PljphX8oLC4[/YOUTUBE]

In May 2014, the UN held its first convention to debate whether killer robots should be banned. It was public recognition of how far designers have come in creating machines that could independently make the decision to kill, eliminating humans from the equation.

Nowhere did the debate resonate more loudly than Japan, the world leader in robotics. Spurred on by the Fukushima disaster, Japanese designers are leading a resurgence in intelligent, humanoid machines.

But while some innovators are creating them to save lives, critics fear others are building them to kill.

101 East asks could Japan’s latest generation of robots do more harm than good?

[WTA] About a person

dreamsky999 — Mon, 12 May 2014 10:22:38 +0800

This seriously might look like a stalking per se, but I'm going to take my chances anyway.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for
[#1] a 20-ish lass/lady who looks like a japanese with a light (golden hair/blonde) who hangs out around KLCC area. (might be further, but I don't know)
[#2] She has quite a round & clueless face and big eyes.

Her hairstyle is like the one in the picture below, but with light gold colour.

I've seen her on last Saturday (10/05/2014) 1PM ~ 4PM at Starbuck, Avenue K (opposite of KLCC).
P/S : She carries an ACER laptop & a large yet light bag to put her belongings like a white sweater.
She could be a tourist but I'm just planting the fragment of memories in you guys for now.

Please do help me out if you know/seen any, I'd really appreciate it from bottom of my heart
Any clue to find such person is also appreciated.

How many of you celebrate White Day?

dreamsky999 — Sat, 08 Mar 2014 02:42:21 +0800

TOKYO — With Valentine’s Day over and done with, White Day (March 14) is just around the corner. This is the day in Japan where men are obliged to return the gifts of Valentine’s Day chocolates to the women who gifted them, or else send a clear message that the feeling isn’t mutual by not bothering.

However, many guys have trouble choosing the right gifts for women, so Krispy Kreme Japan is holding a special workshop to teach an exclusive group of guys how to make romantic gifts out of their donuts.

This event is called the White Day Donuts Remake Lesson and is a part of Krispy Kreme Japan’s “Donuts Remake” series of lectures where they teach new ways to enjoy their pastries through creative decoration.

In this lesson on March 6, food coordinator Ryoko Shimizu will teach 10 male guests how to make a “Parfait Tailored Donuts Necklace” and a “Ring Ring Donuts” which are sure to make any girl’s heart melt like a rich sugary glaze.

For the rest of us who can’t get in, the donut chain has thrown us a bone and provided instructions on how to make the two treats on their website. Also, we can be sure that more Donuts Remake sessions will be had. Just keep an eye on the Krispy Kreme Japan website for updates.

A World First! Live broadcast of the deep-sea exploration with the SHINKAI 6500 Presented by JAMSTEC and Nico Live

The deep submergence vehicle SHINKAI 6500 is scheduled to dive 5,000-meters deep in the ocean for purely scientific research purposes. The scientific exploration will be fully broadcast live on the Internet. Let's go to the exciting and thrilling cutting-edge research on an unknown world togethers.

The program will be broadcast live for about 12 hours on Nico Live.

Date and Time
11:30 AM to 11:00 PM UTC on Saturday, June 22, 2013 (8:30 pm to 8:00 am JST)
* You can view the program without registering an account on Nico Nico Douga.
* The date and/or time are subject to change in case of bad sea conditions.
* Please note that poor communications connectivity may interrupt the live broadcast.

How do humans reach and explore the deep sea and what do they see there?

This program is the world's first full live broadcast of a deep-sea exploration with a manned submergence vehicle for a purely scientific purpose. You can experience an unknown deep-sea world, and enjoy the dive and exploration with the submergence vehicle.

The deep submergence vehicle SHINKAI 6500 is scheduled to dive the 5,000-meters deep. This live program is jointly presented by JAMSTEC and Nico Live, and will fully cover the launch and the deep-sea exploration of SHINKAI 6500. In this live broadcast, all of us can share in this exciting experience of scientific deep-sea exploration WORLD FIRST.

Will the live broadcasting go well? … Not sure. If not, … sorry.

The program will feature the launch and recovery of SHINKAI 6500, the operation in its cockpit, footage of the deep sea taken during the dive, deep-sea research activities, and the operation in the control room on the support vessel YOKOSUKA.

A deep-sea hydrothermal vent area is located at the Cayman Rise in the Caribbean Sea at a depth of 5,000 meters, which is said to be the deepest hydrothermal area in the world. The temperature of the hot water spewing from the seafloor was found to be over 400 degrees Celsius. Scientists would like to find out together with you if organisms can survive in such an extreme hydrothermal environment. The expedition team is trying to figure out the limit of life and studying symbiosis with bacteria and other ecological characteristics in extreme environments.
