We all know that Japanese have a flair for inventing new things and are never bogged down by tough situations. Currently battling with the disaster caused by the massive earthquake and tsunami that wreaked havoc on the country on March 11, the Japanese scientists are still not giving up their passion to develop new devices. Two scientists of Hiroshima International University, Yosuke Kimura and Daisuke Goto, have defied all odds to develop a robot that runs on solar power. The Star Wars robot is set to find many takers in the near future as it uses two solar panels to supply power to the robot when there is unavailability of normal power.
The radio-controlled robot has been exhibited by the duo in Hiroshima as a part of the Hiroshima International University’s engineering program. Japan is the pioneer when it comes to robot technology. Japanese scientists have spent a lot of time in developing robots loaded with unique features every now and then, and the solar-powered Star Wars droid is the latest in this chain.
