Murasaki-bot - The Storytelling Robot
Tucked inside this little robot is an MP3 player with which is the core of its storytelling sensation. The Murasaki-bot was designed by the kids at the Kyoto University’s Robo-Garage and ‘will read you Murasaki Shikibu’s classic and oft-considered oldest novel in existence, The Tale of Genji.’ It was also designed to make subtle movements along with the storytelling like the noblewoman Murasaki would have made well conveying the tale.
There is nothing quite like the future being upon us as robots creeping their way into every notch of life.
