we talk to an expert and leading figure in Japanese Robotics, Tomomasa
Sato, who is currently a project manager for intelligent robot projects
supported by the Ministry
of International Trade and Industry, otherwise known at METI.
During this interview, Tomomasa Sato tells us about the money spent in
robotics; the differences between industry and government funding and
developments and the cultural differences that make Japanese people
accept robots into their daily lives. Read
