Research Institutes in Tsukuba Science City Part 1: Shaping the Future with Robot Technology

In the first of our 2-part series on Tsukuba Science City and the research institutes in it, we'll focus on robot technology and visit the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology where a wide range of robots is being developed. We'll see how humanoid robots that can be used in disaster areas and mobility robots that can travel autonomously are tested. We'll also introduce cutting-edge space robots that are being developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
