Fukushima's Radiation Robots

In Click's second special from Japan, we meet Japan's greatest robot visionaries.

Click's second special from Japan - they'll be going inside the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear disaster site to see how robots and technology are being used to aid the clean-up operation. They'll also be meeting Japan's greatest robot visionaries to discover their two differing visions for the future of robots and humans. Sticking with the robot theme, Spencer Kelly will try his hand against a robot that can play volleyball and he'll meet the inventors behind Japan's growing robotic sumo wrestling craze. Finally Dan Simmons will see how Japan is preparing for the 2020 Paralympics, in a city that many regard as being particularly challenging for disabled people.
