Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant disaster is still in the memory of Japanese with its ex-Prime Minister recently expressing his fear at the time of tragedy. Japanese have been at the forefront in robotics, with companies like Honda giving a demo of how advanced their robots are. Unfortunately, at the time of calamity, it was not Japanese but American robots that first detected leakage. The Future Robotics Technology Center sent a robot some time back inside the nuclear plant to tackle things in case of collapse of subway tunnels. The center is going to roll out a new robot named “Rosemary” that will extend the work of the first robot inside the plant.
