Unborn baby ultrasounds turned into 3D holograms by new Pioneer printer
Late last year, the struggling Japanese electronics company Pioneer announced a strange new product: a “compact” full-color printer for making 3D holographic images. About the size of a large briefcase, the printer now offers a new function — turning flat ultrasound images of unborn babies into 3D holograms.

When it comes to creepy, Japan doesn’t limit itself to only robots.

Of course Japan has robots that smell your breath.

Breathe into the female robot’s face, and if your breath is okay, she’ll say. “A somewhat tart, good smell—no problem.” If it’s not so good, she says things like, “Your breath is kind of stinky” or “This is bad; Unbearable”.

Sumo like it hot!
I have no idea why, but I wanted to draw a robot sumo, he is a very skinny sumo, but still a sumo. Happy Friday friends!

Considering the state of robotics in Japan, I would not be surprised to see a RoboSumo in the very near future.
