ROBO JAPAN coming in Oct. 2008

A big new robot exhibition is in the works according to freelance journalist Kazumichi Moriyama who covers the Japanese robotics scene extensively. According to a recent post on his blog, an event dubbed ROBO JAPAN is being scheduled in October of this year. ROBO JAPAN is positioned as the successor to ROBODEX which was held for 3 years before it's last trade show was organized in 2003.

Moriyama-san writes that the new exhibition was announced at the most recent humanoid battling ROBO-ONE competion. The next ROBO-ONE is planned to be held during and at ROBO JAPAN. He says that they weren't able to provide further information about the new exhibition at this time, and I couldn't find anything else about it on the web, but GetRobo will keep you posted.
