Awesome Retro Robots Revealed In Japan

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 1 of July , 2009 at 9:24 am

I don’t speak any Japanese, so unfortunately I’ve only been able to understand little snippets of information, but according to an article on Robot Watch, an autonomy of robots (yeah, I’m trying out a new collective noun) designed and constructed by Jiro Aizawa in the 50s and 60s have been located in a wearhouse in Japan. The robots have lights (and maybe some movements?) controlled by vacuum tubes, and are going to be restored. I think. The translation is pretty sketchy. More pics, after the jump, and if any of you can read Japanese, do us all a favor and post what’s really going on in the comments.
