Robots In Japan

Published by admin | Filed under Tech Connect

The Japanese might be ahead of all the other countries when it comes to the technology of robots. Japan is trying to create robots that will help replace an aging work force in their country. This is not plans for tomorrow or decades into the future either. They already have robots in Japan that can make sushi and plant rice. It might not be too much longer before the restaurants in Japan have robots serving customers food. I love eating at the Japanese restaurants in the Untied States. The ones where they come out to your table and prepare the food in front of you. If you have never been to a Japanese restaurant, you owe it to your self to go check one out someday. Find one of those that will have a chef come out to your table and cook the food right in front of your eyes. The food tastes great and the whole family will be entertained at the Japanese Chef that will twirl the knives around and make the flames shoot up real high on the heated surface they are preparing your food from. Be sure to come hungry, because they will give you more than you can eat! I would imagine a robot could perform some of these functions and prepare the food for you. I’m sure a live human would need to check-in from time to time, to make sure the customer’s questions were all answered.

Robots in Japan already have jobs like receptionists, they can spoon feed the elderly and don’t be surprised if you see a robot vacuuming your hotel room the next time your in Tokyo. I think robot technology is fascinating and would love to see more of it in the U.S.. I’m sure the field will be growing globally over the next century and it looks like Japan will be leading the way. Jobs would pay real good in a high-tech job working with robots. So for anybody in high school or college now trying to find a good paying field to go into, be sure to check and see what types of training exist for robots. Let’s just hope our society doesn’t become too dependant on them and when they breakdown, there will be a live person there to step-in and complete the task the robot was assigned to do. I know a few sceince fiction movies take this scenario overboard and actually have the robots turning on man. It would be a great tool for the police to use in situations where an armed individual is a threat to society and the robot could be used as a weapon for those type of people. I know bomb squads already have robots in place to help them take care of mysterious packages or items that might have a bomb in them. So the future looks bright for robots and it looks like Japan will be giving us a map to the future and all the ways we can use robots in our daily lives.
