OSAKA - Seven android robots shown at the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka in a pavilion produced by University of Osaka professor Hiroshi Ishiguro will be relocated to Kyoto Prefecture after the end of the event on Monday. In addition, the Dutch pavilion will be moved to Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture. People involved in the use of expo assets after the event hope that they will be loved as tourist attractions in their new places. The prefectural government of Kyoto was chosen as the new owner of the androids in an open tender held by the expo organizer, the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, in September. The robots will be shown to the public at a research facility in the Keihanna Science City research district straddling the Kyoto municipalities of Seika and Kizugawa.
