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 km (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'."

MERCOSUR is Việt Nam's 13th largest trading partner with bilateral trade value rose from $2.45 billion in 2011 to $12 billion in 2022. —Photo baodautu.vn Việt Nam is taking measures to promote the negotiations of a free trade agreement (FTA) with the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), which is expected to be a driving force for Việt Nam to tap the Latin American market, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyễn Hồng Diên said.
