It's 21st century and we stand on the 4th Industrial Revolution.
In this context, we cannot ignore the importance of Japan
where the connection between robots and humans is very specific.
Why? According to the tradition, Japanese incorporated the Karakuri,
mechanized puppets to their religious festivals and ceremonies.
But later, in the 50s, robots were also incorporated
to manga and anime, so these beings were seen as heroes
which contributed to the welfare, progress of society
and harmonious relationship with human beings.
In fact, the Shinto acknowledges that all beings
or objects with driving force, can be considered to have
a spirit, a soul that makes stronger the relationship
and besides, with the policy of the minister Shinzō Abe
which has opted for robots, on the verge of Tokio 2020,
to show that they are pioneers in all kind of robotic innovation
and also, that the use of robots in the social role is very suitable
because of population longevity and assistance provided by these robots.
Overall, robots have incorporated in all spheres
of Japanese life because they adore robots.
