Are Robots The Key To Japan's New Economy?
from the from-autos-to-robots dept
Have you noticed that all the funky robots these days seem to be coming out of Japan? Maybe there's a reason for that. It seems that the Japanese Trade Ministry (didn't these guys used to go by the name MITI?) is making a big push to have Japan create next generation robots. They see robots replacing cars as the "big product" coming out of Japan this century.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
