Designers are transforming a 2600-square-footmeter former car showroom into Japan’s first robot museum, with a planned opening in October, 2006. Exhibits will cover a wide range of models, from toys to industrial helpers to outer space explorers. Humans and robots will enjoy snacks side by side in a robot cafe on-site. Museum planners anticipate nearly half a million visitors a year. Yomiuri Shimbun article: English, Japanese. (via tobeasian.com, and digitalworldtokyo, thanks Cameron!)
