The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) introduced its new humanoid Taizo, a 70-centimeter-high articulated robot with 26 joints, which can demonstrate about 30 kinds of exercises aimed at helping elderly people do exercise.

The University of Tokyo's development team showed off its batting robot, which can hit any ball by detecting its course using a high-speed camera capable of processing 1,000 images per second. The batting robot identifies the ball position every 1/1000 second, adjusting the batting position in a mere 0.2 seconds to hit it back in the targeted direction.
