I have always been grossly disappointed in Japan for continuing to make their robots *smaller*. Where’s the giant “construction worker” robot with huge drill arms? Nnnoooo, Japan sits there making robots the size of pinheads just because, or robots who’re man-sized and designed to.. wash dishes or pour drinks.

“I’m so glad that over the last 100 odd years the Japanese have gone from being an aggressive, warlike society trying… to becoming a peace-loving country of ultra-polite introverts”

Amazing how copping a deuce of a-bombs to the chin can alter your psyche.

@ Will – best idea ever. A jetpack like in GTA San Andreas…

If I were Japanese I’d build a robot army, sell them like they’re domestic assistants, wait until they’re in everyone’s houses and them BAM when I press a button all their lights for some reason turn from green to red and all of the world would be at my mercy… Or I could just watch I-Robot and save myself a few billion $’$.

or maybe the Japanese are working so hard on robot technology because they’re only allowed a military built for self-defense purposes? i highly doubt that their surrender agreement mentioned anything about robot armies.

Think about it.
