Gakutensoku

Gakutensoku

Gakutensoku (Japanese for "learning from the laws of nature") was Japan's first robot, created in Osaka in 1929. It was lost while touring overseas in the 1930s. The robot was designed and manufactured by biologist Makoto Nishimura (1883-1956), who made the original. Nishimura had served as a professor at Hokkaido Imperial University and was an editorial adviser to the Osaka Mainichi newspaper.

Gakutensoku was reproduced in 2008 by the Osaka Science Museum where it is now on display.
