In preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan, tourists and sportspeople will have the opportunity to discover a fully smart health connected village.

As the next Summer Olympics will next year in Rio com Janeiro (Brazil), the Japanese government is already preparing its edition, which will take place in 2020. For the occasion, the committee created by the Ministry of Science and Technology proposed a motion that might surprise more than one: setting up a fully robotic village.

A “Universal Future Society”

Ah, Japan. The land of the Rising Sun, where nothing is weird, where even hotels are fully robotized, and where no one is surprised. So when the International Olympic Committee has decided that the 2020 Summer Olympics will take place in Japan, a multitude of projects have been quickly implemented. One of them particularly caught our attention. The Japanese government has understood for a few years now that robots represented the future. With this in mind, an idea has been developed: to give more and more weight to new technologies.

In order to respect their reputation as much as possible, the Japanese Ministry of Science and Technology has decided to create a fully smart health connected city. planned in the Odaiba district of Tokyo by the opening ceremony, this completely avant-garde city should delight tourists. Capable of providing translation services and even indicating the direction to follow to attend various events, these robots should mark a turning point in the history of robotics.

Japan 2.0

If this project is planned for Japan and not for other editions of the Olympic Games, it is not by chance. Indeed, Japan has since very long focused its policy around new technologies. Spraying drones in the fields, fighting giant robots, and even installing WiFi hotspots at the foot of Mount Fuji, the motto "Nothing can stop progress" is respected to the letter. A little too much sometimes. If this abundance of technology can have its positive points, it can also be dangerous in many situations. While some studies rightly denounce this omnipresence in certain fields such as education, Japan is thus emerging as one of the most advanced countries, but also one that is most at risk. If the transition is already completed, the future looks bright metallic for the Japanese.
