Yes Osaka is the best place for people who are looking for new robots.
A 20 minute production by playwright Oriza Hirata at Japan's Osaka University Hirata is also a visiting professor at the and was performed for the media ahead of a possible full-scale public run in the next year or so. Hirata and the rest of the project team wrote special software that lets the robots move and deliver the right lines.
In the play, the robot is complaining that it has been forced into boring and demeaning jobs and enters into a discussion with the humans about its role in their lives.
This event shows how human is trying to integrate robot in all ways of creations. Do robot have a feelings or imagination and can it be translate in human language. For me the best performance by a robot is when I see the perfect gesture repeated again and again like monk, I feel something spiritual in it, something beyond human condition.
