Oh dear, it's Sunday! And I am two updates behind =(
Lately I am lacking the ability to write anything for any given work. There is still a pile of Ed Board articles in need of editting and drafting, yet this editor can find no suitable mental preparation to face it, let alone do any work on it.
Well, nothing beats a walk around virtual lane and see what kind of news is online.
I chanced upon this news article while surfing news on Japanese Robots. Now I see the fangirl with a fetish for everything cute creeping up on me.
Trust the Japanese to be the one that always come up with the most mind blowing inventions you will set eyes on. Not only that, chances are they are so darn cute it'd make your heart scream "I WANT!~" and then make you listen to your own heart break as you know not only you can't afford it, but having it around would render it useless anyway. Ouch.
Robot Snowplow from Japan eats up Snow, Poops out Bricks
Now isn't that the cutest thing ever? =DDDDDDDDDDDD
To summarize the long article, Yuki-taro (The name of this awesome invention) / Pikachuu look-alike is a self-guided, GPS and twin video cameras for obstacle avoidance equipped robot snowplow. After plowing the snow Yuki-taro is programmed to squeeze the snow into pack rectangular bricks! You can built igloos outside of Alaska, people!
This will so put the Inuits to frustration =D Of course, it'd be fun for little kiddie Inuits to practise stacking bricks to make igloos. It'd be like a Lego game for them.
However with all seriousness, Yuki-taro was created with the main intention of helping the elderly population (Japan is full of them, bit too much too) with snow plowing, especially in places that are prone to heavy snowfalls such as Hokkaido, Aomori, Niigata, Akita and such.... well basically northern Japan. I kind of don't remember all the places that suffers heavy snowfalls in Japan. =/
And it's just soooooooo like the Japanese to name the invention after the male gender. Yuki, which means snow, and Taro, a popular boys name in accordance to a popular old folk's tale. Such gender biasness. Why can't they name it Yuki-Yumi or of that sort? Or at least make the models available in two colors, yellow and green or something (Hence two genders).
Yes. Feminism is alive within this blogger today. She'll also be back with another update soon.
