looking to Japan robotization wave

Learn about Japan robots during daily lives.

Those guys are amazing. I know a buddy living in Japan since several years .. he's in love with he's new home and not willing to leave for "west" :-)

Later edit: maybe this is another long-term strategy for the ongoing war of cost-reductions with outsourcing/offshoring moving more-and-more East ... go "automate" and use robots as much as possible - especially in routine operations. This is a failure of the western civilization so far.

For example recently was a scandal with Nokia moving a mobile phones factory from Germany to Romania. What about making the factory less humanoid for example ... less dependent on the cost of labor ?
