Japan is Developing an Advanced Humanoid Robot

Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) is helping to bridge the gap between robotics research and commercialization.

The decidedly boring name of HRP-5P has been assigned to one of its most sophisticated projects.

Have a look at this machine in action:

This robot will operate on construction sites and in shipyards. However, with its advanced artificial intelligence, the robot’s applications will continue to multiply.

It will be interesting to see how quickly these robots begin to permeate Japan — and the world.
