In this blog entry i'm gonna talk about Japanese domestic robot made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries which is named Wakamaru , primarily intended to provide companionship to elderly and disabled people. The robot is yellow, 1m tall, and weighs 30 kilograms. It has two arms and its flat, circular base has a diameter of 45 cm. Functions include reminding the user to take medicine on time, and calling for help if it suspects something is wrong. you think this is a old news.
Yes, this robot is old one but now they have made changes to it, the Tech Hall at Tepia in Tokyo is a maze of inventions ranging from medicine to housing , safety and environment. And some of these can change lives completely.
To be greeted by a robot its not surprise but unfortunately Wakamaru, as he is called, responds only to commands and questions in Japanese. But he smiles in red and blue lights that tell us he is happy to see us. Wakamaru is a receptionist and an easy internet reference guide, and can act autonomously according to his own life rhythms. He greets us, offers a hand for shaking, then like a good helper, zooms off to his station and positions himself against the wall to show us how he refreshes his power sources.
The areas covered range from medicine to housing, safety and environment, and some of the ideas are so simple one wonders what took them so long. Indeed many can change lives as completely as the safety pin or electricity did. Here's a sampling!
Such a boon for those who live on fault lines, and that could be in Guwahati or Los Angeles, or of course Japan! The building has a cushion of Seismic Isolation air that lies dormant, till an earthquake strikes. Then the air is pushed in between the foundation and the building, and literally lifts the building off the ground, causing it to float in an instant and remain there as long as Earth does her dance number. Once all is still, back to gravity control! Compared with ordinary seismic isolation systems that dampen earthquake motion by 1/5th, the new system can dampen earthquake motion by up to 1/37th!
This one is a boon for all those who write endless versions of presentations that they just need to print out and destroy before they move on to the next, better, improved version. Also for those who love written memos, and that sort of thing, and create so much waste paper, even the shredder burps. This not- so-cheap, but big-as-a fridge gadget, called the White Goat, however makes good of all of it, by quickly washing the paper waste, and with just electricity, meshing it into malleable layers and converting it into very usable toilet rolls.
The changes made on Wakamaru is simply superb he is very useful for our day to day life. As they said it changes our lives completely. It makes me to buy it by its new functions. He exaggerate caricatures.
