BBC Profile: Professor Shigeo Hirose

The Japanese have been pioneers in robotic design, with a culture that seens to have embraced robotics to a greater degree than anywhere else.

To illustrate that point, a photo gallery has been recently posted on the BBC technology news channel that shows some of the fascinating robots that Professor Shigeo Hirose of the Tokyo Institute of Technology has worked on over the years. It’s well worth a quick browse – pour yourself a cup of joe and take a look.  (Source: BBC News) – [Jeff James]
