Chile's National Emergency Office rolled out an earthquake simulator truck in Santiago last weekend. Donated by the Embassy of Japan, a country which has faced its own fair share of major quakes, the truck simulates earthquakes of different magnitudes and is designed to raise awareness among communities most at risk. The truck’s interior resembles the living room of an ordinary house, and when switched on, it simulates the movement and magnitude of some of the country's biggest seismic shocks.
This plate of Japanese-style cuisine, complete with sushi, sashimi, and caviar, was created especially for some very special, and very furry guests. A one-off fine dining experience for dogs took place at Heard Park in Auckland, New Zealand on Saturday, giving lucky pooches a chance to sample their very own dog-friendly sushi, all for just over $10. Owners were able to feed their beloved pets the carefully-prepared sushi with chopsticks or simply let their hounds abandon their table manners and chow down straight from the plate.

Visitors to the Tokyo Robot Center Showroom on Tokyo's Odaiba Island watched as a DuAro dual-armed SCARA robot made traditional Japanese nigiri sushi as part of a project launched by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The robot gracefully placed the fish toppings on little balls of rice while explaining every movement with audio and text appearing on the robot's 'face', which consisted of a mouth, nose, and big black eyes animated on a screen in between the two arms. The chef-bot was featured at the newly opened 'Kawasaki Robostage', a location open to the public designed to demonstrate the future of coexistence between humans and robots. It's part of a larger initiative from the Japanese government called 'Robot Strategy', which aims to introduce more widespread robot usage at every level of society. Robot Strategy has a dual purpose - to help manage the effects of a rapidly aging society by filling in for jobs usually handled by young people and to make Japan a global center for robotics innovation in order to serve the demands of the global economy of the future.
A Japan-based startup hopes to open the 2020 Olympics with a bang by making hundreds of colored fireballs rain over Tokyo in the world’s first man-made meteor shower.
