Caption/Description

JAPAN : THE HUMANOIDS- In many cultures, where science fiction often depicts the rise of robots as an ominous threat, most Japanese have long portrayed robots as friends and heroes and embrace humanoid robot technology. Increasingly, the Japanese are looking to robotic solutions for social needs. A Japanese company employee looks at an old painting of a robot trying to save Japan from a monster, hanging in a convention center in Tokyo on June 28, 2007.
