GUNDAM: Aligning Large Language Models with Graph Understanding
Ouyang, Sheng, Hu, Yulan, Chen, Ge, Liu, Yong
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved impressive results in processing text data, which has sparked interest in applying these models beyond textual data, such as graphs. In the field of graph learning, there is a growing interest in harnessing LLMs to comprehend and manipulate graph-structured data. Existing research predominantly focuses on graphs with rich textual features, such as knowledge graphs or text attribute graphs, leveraging LLMs' ability to process text but inadequately addressing graph structure. This work specifically aims to assess and enhance LLMs' abilities to comprehend and utilize the structural knowledge inherent in graph data itself, rather than focusing solely on graphs rich in textual content. To achieve this, we introduce the \textbf{G}raph \textbf{U}nderstanding for \textbf{N}atural Language \textbf{D}riven \textbf{A}nalytical \textbf{M}odel (\model). This model adapts LLMs to better understand and engage with the structure of graph data, enabling them to perform complex reasoning tasks by leveraging the graph's structure itself. Our experimental evaluations on graph reasoning benchmarks not only substantiate that \model~ outperforms the SOTA baselines for comparisons. But also reveals key factors affecting the graph reasoning capabilities of LLMs. Moreover, we provide a theoretical analysis illustrating how reasoning paths can enhance LLMs' reasoning capabilities.

Life-sized Gundam to be displayed at 2025 Osaka Expo
Bandai Namco Holdings has said it will display a life-sized Gundam robot model in its pavilion of the 2025 World Exposition in the city of Osaka. According to the toy and video game company's announcement Wednesday, it will be the first public display of a full-size model of the robot hero from the anime series "Mobile Suit Gundam" in the Kansai region. The life-sized Gundam, about 17 meters tall, is set to be displayed in a kneeling posture with one knee raised and the right arm stretched upward, symbolizing a wish to reach out to the universe and the future. The statue will be displayed beside the pavilion from April 13 to Oct. 13, 2025. It will be built mostly with reused materials from the Moving Gundam, which had been displayed in Yokohama until March this year.
Japan startup develops 'Gundam'-like robot with $3 million price tag
Tokyo-based startup Tsubame Industries has developed a 4.5-meter-tall (14.8-feet), four-wheeled robot that looks like "Mobile Suit Gundam" from the wildly popular Japanese animation series, and it can be yours for $3 million. Called ARCHAX after the avian dinosaur archaeopteryx, the robot has cockpit monitors that receive images from cameras hooked up to the exterior so that the pilot can maneuver the arms and hands with joysticks from inside its torso. The 3.5-ton robot, which will be unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show later this month, has two modes: the upright "robot mode" and a "vehicle mode" in which it can travel up to 10 kilometers per hour (6 miles per hour). "Japan is very good at animation, games, robots and automobiles so I thought it would be great if I could create a product that compressed all these elements into one," said Ryo Yoshida, the 25-year-old chief executive of Tsubame Industries. "I wanted to create something that says, 'This is Japan.'"
Bandai Namco launches project to recycle plastic waste from Gundam models
Toymaker Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. recently launched a project to recycle throwaway plastic parts from its model kits based on the sci-fi animation series "Mobile Suit Gundam" as part of its sustainability effort. Under the project that started on April 1, the Tokyo-based entertainment firm has asked fans to deposit the plastic frame sections usually discarded after assembling the models at about 190 collection points across the nation at model shops and at Bandai Namco-run arcades. The company plans to reuse the plastic waste for making plastic products, including Gundam models, as well as for thermal power generation. The Gundam model kits, known as "Gunpla," a portmanteau term combining "Gundam" and "plastic," have been a hit product, with cumulative sales topping 700 million sets globally as of March this year. Although overseas markets have accounted for about half of sales of the models featuring Gundam robots and their armor in recent years, Bandai Namco said it currently does not plan to set up collection sites overseas for recycling. The company operates Gunpla shops in South Korea, China and Taiwan.

New 55,000-pound Gundam robot can move its limbs like a boss
This full-scale Gundam robot stands outside Gundam Factory Yokohama in Japan. Fans of the anime robot Gundam can now visit the life-sized giant at the Gundam Factory in Yokohama, outside of Tokyo. According to new footage taken on Sept. 21, the enormous anime robot Gundam can move its arms, legs and torso with ease. Life-sized Gundam in Yokohama is now in testing mode.pic.twitter.com/51HVoraPb7 Construction of the massive robot finished on July 29.
60-foot Gundam robot takes its first steps
A 60ft-tall (18m) robot inspired by the popular Japanese anime series Mobile Suit Gundam has taken its first steps as part of a routine test. The giant machine is a humanoid robot which resembles those seen in blockbuster films like Pacific Rim and Transformers. The robot is being built as part of a new attraction at Yamashita Pier by engineers at Gundam Factory in the Port of Yokohama.

In the video, the legs can be seen performing a walking motion but the machine is currently without a head, indicating it is some way from completion.
Robots from 'Gundam' series to greet 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic athletes from space
Organizers of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games announced plans Wednesday to launch robots from the "Mobile Suit Gundam" anime series into space aboard a satellite that will broadcast messages of support to athletes. In the project, conducted in collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the University of Tokyo, two 10-centimeter models depicting Gundam and Char's Zaku robots from the animation series will be sent into orbit on a 30-cm long, 10-cm wide microsatellite. The "G Satellite," with an electronic bulletin board for displaying messages, will be sent to the International Space Station aboard a supply ship next March and later launched from the ISS. After the satellite enters the Earth's orbit, it will deploy the robots and the bulletin board. The organizers of the project will then share images taken with an onboard camera, including congratulatory messages in multiple languages, with athletes through social media and other outlets.
'Gundam' is being made into a live-action movie
Gundam is heading to the big screen -- and, yes, we're talking about a live action adaptation, not a movie-length anime movie you can see in theaters. Legendary Entertainment and Gundam's creator, Japanese animation studio Sunrise, have announced that they're teaming up to create a film version of the classic robot saga at the Los Angeles Anime Expo. The franchise was established in 1979 with the animated series Mobile Suit Gundam, which helped popularize the "mecha" genre. It grew over the years to encompass several anime series, manga and video games, remaining relevant and popular even to this day. Unfortunately, the companies didn't reveal the movie's details, and it's unclear if it will remain faithful to Gundam lore.
