If you are in Japan, GO to the International Robot Exhibition at Tokyo Big Sight!! You are witnessing the future of humanity (and not-humanity) at the beginning of its era – perhaps one day to get its own scientific classification? The Robotolithic age ?
IREX takes place at the Tokyo Big Sight (Tokyo International Exhibition Center) on the Tokyo Bay waterfront. The complex is worth the visit just for the experience of being in a futuristic city on the set of a Sci-Fi movie. It reminded us of Caprica from the modern Battlestar Galactica !
The Tokyo International Robot Exhibition (IREX) is the largest robot trade show in the World. IREX brings together roughly 500 domestic robot manufacturers and related businesses with over 50 international exhibitors. Participating are 100,000 domestic technicians and professionals.
IREX divides itself into two parts. Large Industrial robots (IR) and then the smaller, cuter service robots (SR), along side small production systems and robots deriving from R&D activities of government, industry and academia, Medicine, manufacturing, security, etc.
