Yokohama hosts big bot fest
Yokohama will host a three-day robot extravaganza in October 2008 that will showcase many of Japan's most high-profile machines.The sensibly titled Robo Japan 2008 will feature Honda's Asimo, Mitsubishi's Wakamaru, Robo-Garage's Chroino and others at Pacifico Yokohama October 11-13. Participants will include 28 companies, seven schools and seven groups. The theme will be "robots in everyday life."
It'll be a fun event for kids, but most of the robots on display have been around since at least the 2005 Aichi Expo.

I see the new Actroids are in this year, standing behind Wakamaru. :-)
What does that ALSOK fellow do? He looks like an ATM. Going by their website, I assume it's something security-based?
Yup, the Reborg-Q (a name almost as well thought out as Cyberdyne and HAL) is a security bot. Onboard mapping, cameras, face-detect, human and fire sensors, etc.
