Clearly the Japaneese were far ahead of the US in the vital area of blanacing spinning tops on the edge of a katana.

and everything else

[@oldtwinsna8347]

all that r&d paid off with Japan now having robots in commerce everywhere, seamlessly.

With the subtitle "Robots - Japanese Style," I had wildly different expectations.

[@AbdiPianoChannel]

Its 2020 and I still don't have a robot in my appartment

[@dellagustin]

Wow, the voice to text plus translation plus text to voice in 1985 was quite impressive.

[@CMDRScotty]

Not only have they created robots for hospital's, hotels, and bars. They created vocaloid singing and dancing holograms.

That TV is so cool.
Wonder what these hosts would think of the MSG Sphere in Vegas.

Think that that thing has been the inspiration for many a tentacle hentai doujinshi...

[@Byudda]

[@Maskddingo]

Right. I'm sure we will have a labor shortage by 2000.
