This post does not regard Kumamoto but a bit of neat Japanese technology recently deployed on the International Space Station, the “Int-Ball”. A bit like a Roomba, it is “intelligent” - it moves around by itself in three dimensions using a gyroscope and returns to its home base for recharging when required. The device is designed to alleviate the burden of astronauts of recording visual activities on the ISS, which apparently now occupy 10% of their time. Plus, it’s cute. Thanks, Japan!
(Best to watch with sound off - whoever chose the music should be fired.)
