Acting like a robot
Now for some real robot news. If you're close to the theatre at Osaka University, why not get a ticket for Hataraku Watashi ("I, Worker"), a play by Oriza Hirata which explores the relationship between humans and technology.
He does this by casting a robot. The robot in question, unlike Wall-E, has lost its motivation to work, because it has been given only boring jobs. As a special treat, our abridged version:
Robot: Why do you give me only boring and demeaning tasks?
Person: Because you're a robot. Now go and clean the toilets.
Robot: Stuff that. I'm running away to Osaka to become an actor.
