The technology in Japan has one of the greatest innovations
around the world. One of the reasons for this is their desire to make and
produce machines that will help the human in every aspects of our life, in the
field of robotics. In one of the mountains of Fuji, there is one person
successful in making humanoids. Like in Japanese animations, Kogoro Kurata has
made a large humanoid robot he named as Kuratas. Kuratas measured about 4
meters,with movable limbs all controlled by the person inside him.
Another proof
of Japan’s innovation is Asimo, made by Honda, in Japan. He recognizes the
people’s faces registered in his program,he can understand multiple utterances,
he can to multitasking, and He gives way to people. All of these functions are
because of his artificial intelligence. He can think on his own without human interference.
Their mind is based on actual human brain, how we think and how we respond to
things. He has sensors in his hands also based on real human hands. He can
sense the hardiness of every object he handles and touches so he can adjust on
how hard will his grip will be on the object. He can open a very tight lid of a
bottle and put the liquid in a very soft or fragile paper cup. His invention
and improvement was led by Satoshi Shigemi. He led Asimo’s innovation for 16
years now.
Asimo was once compared to petman, who was made by the US. Starting
from their roles, they were different.
Petman is made for military assistance and combat. While Asimo is very
flexible. He can work in different types or kinds of field. While in terms of functions, still for me,
Asimo is the better one. He can still do some things that Petman can’t.
This is just one of the proofs that Japan is really the
leading country in terms of robotics. Just like what Schodt told 10 years
before: “Japan is the Robot kingdom of the world.”
