Almost everyone stood up when the bride appeared in her white dress except the wedding conductor, because she was fixed to her chair. The marriage was held at a restaurant in a hotel in central Tokyo. A four-foot-tall robot called I-Fairy directed the wedding.
“Please lift the bride’s veil (面纱),” I-Fairy said in a tiny voice with flashing eyes and long hair. As the happy persons kissed in front of about 50 guests, she shook her arms in the air. It was the first time that a marriage had been led by a robot.
Japan has one of the most modern robot industries in the world. The government actively supports making more kinds of robots in the future. Many robot models in factories are very new. Recently Japanese companies are making robots work for people in daily life. A motor company makes a walking robot like children, and other companies have developed robots that can help old people and play baseball. In order to “touch the hearts of people”, Kokoro makes huge dinosaur robots and other models that can smile. “The Japanese have a strong thought that robots are our friends. People in the robot industry mostly understand this, but people mainly want robots to serve them,” said Satoko Inoue, who works in Kokoro.
