Robot Square

Konnbanwa! Good Evening!
Kyo wa totemo taihen deshita, aitsukatta!  Today was tough, it was sooo hot! 
Yesterday I went to the Fukuoka Musuem and Robot Square.  Robot square was very interesting.  They have shows in which you can watch the robots in action and lots of small robots for sale.   Here are some pictures:
This robot senses your mood somehow.   I didn't see it in action though.

This robot is for people that are elderly or disabled. 

In Japan, it is really common to be given a packet of tissues by shop staff and by people standing at busy pedestrian crossings.  They are a good way to advertise their business.  This robot does the all the handing out!


This is a music robot that dances and follows you around the house.  You put your CDs or I-Pod inside it, or listen to the radio. 


Here is a place you can race romote control moon buggys around a  race track.

Yep, the fish is a robot that can swim around a pond.  Its looks really real.


Here is a busy classroom next to the Robot Square where children can learn about robots and physics after school.  Looks like fun!
 Have a great week, miss you all,
Amelia Whiting

  1. Hi Miss Whiting,
    i was wondering what sort of wld birds there are in Japan, if there are any! Are there crows? Ravens? Sparrows? Thrush? Dunnock? Are there any wild ducks there? What sort of birds are native to Japan? Have you even seen any birds yet?
    Kirsty & I are really missing you, and we really can't wait until you get back. Ashley is also wanting to meet you. We showed her photos of you, but it doesn't really look like you. Do you know when Declan's coming back? He isn't back yet and every single day Aiden G and Max are asking when he is coming back, and it's getting pretty anoying. this term I have got two new birds, A white & Purple budgie and an Orange canary. The canary is named sherbet and The budgie is called Moonstone.
    Missing you,
    MacKenzie
