“Evolta has already climbed a 1,500ft rope up the Grand Canyon, driven the Le Mans circuit for 24 hours – now it will don three different bodies to ‘run’, ‘swim’ and ‘cycle’ Hawaii’s triathlon, one of the longest on Earth. Don’t expect Evolta to ride a professional-grade ‘human’ bicycle, though: the robot is around the size of a human hand. It’s also by no means certain he will succeed – his first Grand Canyon climb failed due to a faulty ‘foot’. ‘This is very tough even for a sportsman, but I think it is worth a try,’ said Tomotaka Takahashi, a veteran robot creator who has also created a 10-foot-tall ‘rescue’ robot with hydraulic arms capable of lifting a car. ‘The robot will encounter a lot of hardships on its way, but I hope it will overcome them all and succeed in the end,’ says Takahashi.” w/ photos

“Japan may have one of the lowest birth rates in the world, but that apparently only means the few babies that are born here are given everything – even their own exlclusive café. Located in the Omotesando neighborhood of Tokyo, the Nendo-designed Baby Café is the perfect place for children under seven to chill out, and play in a safe environment, while their parents socialize over a cup of coffee. No more having to listen to mommy telling them to “sit up straight”, “don’t play with your food”, “don’t run through the restaurant”, at the Baby Café kids can do as they like. But there are monitors all over the place so parents can keep their eyes on children while giving them the illusion they’re free to do as they please.” w/ photos
