ROBO-ONE: Sugiura Family Profiled in Major Newspaper
The Sugiura Family, creators of ROBO-ONE champion robots that include Dynamizer, Mega Dynamizer, Retro, and Kappa, were profiled in a special article that appeared in this morning's Yomiuri newspaper. The feature article, which goes into quite a bit of detail, emphasizes the motivation and passion behind the family's preoccupation with robotics.
Their vision, their dream, goes far beyond just winning competitions like ROBO-ONE. In the interview, Sugiura-san says, "In the future, if the robot is equipped with a camera, and is capable of climbing mountains like the northern Alps, then even if you become bedridden you can still experience mountain climbing."
Their hope for the not too distant future is a time when robots and humans live productively and usefully together. Surrounded by his family, Sugiura-san showed a hint of deep emotion, squinting his eyes, and saying, "Children will surely realize that dream."
