What I've learned from studying Robotics in Japan for two weeks

I've always desired to visit Japan since I was a child. I've always admired the culture, from their traditions to the cutting-edge technology. Moreover, right now one of my main interest is robotics. You can imagine how I reacted when I was accepted into the Tohoku Engineering Summer Program to study Robotics in Japan, at Tohoku University in Sendai. Some colleagues of mine and I, along other 50 students from all over the world, had the opportunity to attend morning classes from various professors on many different fields of robotics, from molecular to space robotics.
