The Latest Inventions From Japan

If you are talking of latest inventions, the name of one country pops up in your mind immediately and that is Japan. Whether it is a singing robot, or toilets which can measure your blood sugar or a mouse on your computer table, which has X-ray eyes and can see through your skin, Japanese inventors and companies are known world-wide for inventing and developing high-tech inventions which amaze and mesmerize you. Here are some of the latest inventions from the Land of the Rising Sun:

SDR4X is a home entertainment robot from Sony which is 2 feet tall. It can not only sing and dance but its 38-joint body, can boogie and haul at the rate of 55 feet per minute on a smooth and flat surface. The speed reduces to 16 feet per minute on an uneven surface. It can be programmed to recognize up to 10 faces with personalized greetings. It can even 'react' - meaning that if you have been nice to it on an earlier occasion, it will reciprocate the same way, the second time it meets you. Sony is still tinkering with this model and improvising on it further.

If you are looking forward to a futuristic home, visit the Panasonic showroom in Tokyo where Matsushita is displaying various innovative home gadgets to make you feel quite out of the world! There is a recycling unit which separates trash according to quality and content, a clothing server which picks up matching outfits and brushes off pollen from your jacket (protection against allergies) and a washing machine which separates your laundry according to the dirtiness of your clothes. A 'healthy toilet' can scan your excrement to check your health and send signals and reports straight to your doctor via the internet. In case you doze off while watching boring TV serial, the '3D Ergo Bed' senses when you fall asleep and automatically reclines, so that you can have a good night's rest.

The world's first eco-friendly laptop has been invented by Fujitsu. It is encased in a bio-degradable plastic which does not emit harmful dioxins if incinerated. In case the laptop winds up in a landfill, the microorganisms split the plastic into carbon dioxide and water. How about preventing your computer being used by some one else. Start using a Fujitsu mouse, which identifies and verifies by studying the patterns of veins of your hands! According to Fujitsu, this technology will be useful for identifying users before even they log on. This can help in the prevention of online frauds; enhance e commerce transactions and computer usage in restricted rooms. You could even check attendance during online education programs, seminars and meeting.
