Akihabara is the center of the OTAKU world, and in this clip from Tokyo Eye, you can see robots that are agile enough to do cartwheels, one-armed push-ups and play soccer. Also, they introduce latest arcade video game in Akihabara, which you can control the Gundam, team up with other players, and make a strategy to save the world.

Also, there is a new generation mini robot called “Manoi” produced by Kyosho. nanoi_pf01_1.jpg
MANOI has all those snazzy physical abilities such as standing up after a fall, standing on one foot, and being an all around track star. What’s great about Manoi is, he can do all this move smoothly, and it still is in a cool curvy figure.
Pepsi is doing a new campaign in Japan with Manoi.
Are you interested in seeing how he can move? Watch this movie clip.
