  1. There was an entire robot expo by drotobuso · · Score: 2, Informative · on Japanese Develop 'Female' Android

    This BBC story seems to be a fresh rewrite of this old National Geographic piece: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/06/06 10_050610_robot.html ... which was blogged here in mid-month: http://icold.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_icold_archive .html The news event unfortunately did not make it to the robot expo's event site here: http://www-1.expo2005.or.jp/en/robot/robot_project _00.html If you search on co-creator "Hiroshi Ishiguru" you get little more than this story, however.

  2. Not a world ROBOT expo by jdubois79 · · Score: 3, Informative · on Robots Put on Show at World Robot Expo in Japan

    It should be noted that the Aichi World Expo is not a Robot Expo, but a Energy Conservation Expo.

    It also showcases the latest technology from many major Japanese companies.

  3. Featured at Expo 2005 by jpatokal · · Score: 1 · on Your Face On the Big Screen
    This is just one of many insanely cool (mostly) Japanese technologies being showcased at Expo 2005 Aichi, which just opened last week. Other highlights include Toyota's robot-laden pavilion, Hitachi's interactive VR safari, the world's first 360-degree fully hemispherical movie projector, driverless buses zipping around the site, etc. See Wikitravel's guide for more.

    And yes, I'm going there next week. :P

    Cheers,

  5. Re:Robots Expo still far away from Japan Robots, by Ohreally_factor · · Score: 1 · on SF RoboGames This Weekend

    Your link 404ed, but I explored a little and found mention of a "Partner robot with artificial tongue", a "multifingered haptic interface robot", and a "Humanoid probe robot".

    No robots with vaginas as near as I can tell. I'm unbelivably disappointed, but my girlfriend* is nagging me to book plane tickets to Japan now.

    *This is a lie.

    There certainly still are world fairs. And this year's in Japan will have lots of robots, too.
